Best vegan carrot hot dog | Vegan carrot dogs recipe (2024)

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. 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 areveggie dogsandtofu hot dogs.Both are rich in protein and yet easy to digest. Other vegan dinner recipes that I like includegreen moong dal curry,plum chutney,garlic knots,pumpkin lentil curry,easy thai curry,chickpea korma curry,vegan dal makhani,chana dal recipe&potato curry recipe.

Instructions

1. Peel the carrots evenly using a vegetable peeler. Cut top and ends of the carrots.

2. Take the sauces and spice,mix them in a pan with water,Switch the gas/heat on the pan so that the marinade mix starts to cook

3. Place carrot on the mix and allow to cook on low heat.

4. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and continue to cook carrots on low flame. Pour the hot sauce mix over the carrots during the cook.

5. At the end there will be thick sauce mix left, when most of the sauce has cooked away, turn off the heat. You can also cook it on a cast iron grill for a few minutes, if you like to get hot grill marks on it. Cook until fork tender.

6. Keep the carrot dog between the hot dog rolls or buns and top it up with tomato ketchup , mustard sauce.

Other favorite toppings are smashed avocado with onions along with bbq sauce and mustard sauce.

Delicious! and really full of flavor! You may serve it with some potato salad on the side.
