    Best vegan carrot hot dog | Vegan carrot dogs recipe

    First time when I saw carrot dogs in a local market freezer and it did make me curious on how it would taste. Sausage sizzles are quite common in summer in Australia especially at Bunnings. Few years back,it had nothing to offer for vegetarians. Now, however times are getting better, sometimes they do. You can also see veggie corn dogs in the frozen section these days. Marinated carrots, grilled like a traditional hot dog with a smoky flavor are served along with regular hot dogs nowadays at some sizzles and summer cookouts. They are served with hot dog toppings like yellow mustard sauce, barbecue sauce in a toasted hot dog bun.

    This meatless hot dogs recipe is pretty simple to make. Carrots are easily available and so are hot dog rolls. It is a great recipe for Bento boxes too. Kids love to see each others lunch boxes. Seeing something similar makes them feel happy too. This is great especially when they have dietary restrictions. Try this carrot dog recipe for your family, and you will not be disappointed! Other great recipes you can make are veggie dogs and tofu hot dogs. Both are rich in protein and yet easy to digest.

    Variation and Substitutions

    • You can make a vegetarian hot dog if you want to serve cheese slices along with the vegan dog. Use a vegan cheese slice instead of dairy based, for easy vegan recipe. You may add some maple syrup instead of sugar if you like.
    • If you like it spicy, you may add garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, smoked paprika in the marinade ingredients as a variation.
    • You may use coconut aminos if you want to avoid soy sauce.
    • Serve this with a whole wheat bun if you want to avoid white bread. You may serve it with a gluten-free bun if you avoid gluten.

    Storage

    You can freeze these carrots after you cook a batch. Heat the leftover carrot dogs before you serve along with hot dog buns.

    Yes, carrots and a blend of different sauce to give it that flavor. It is obviously more healthy as it has no processed meat , lesser calories and lesser saturated fat.
