Steps
Carrot Dog
- Bring a medium pot of water to boil, add carrots and boil for 8 to 9 minutes, or until they feel slightly tender when poked with a fork. Drain carrots, reserving 1/4 cup of carrot water.
Marinade
- In a large bowl, add all marinade ingredients and stir until well mixed.
- Place the drained, boiled carrots in a large zip-top bag with the marinade. Allow to marinate for 24 hours. Gently shake the bag every once in awhile to ensure each carrot gets marinated.
- Grill the carrots for about 4 minutes on each side, or until they look nicely charred. If using a nonstick pan instead of grill, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil first.
Toppings
- Toast hot dog buns, place carrot dogs in each, and add preferred toppings.
