Tired of trying to satisfy a range of dietary requirements (and picky eaters) under one roof? Try these EASY carrot dogs, which can be customized to fit a variety of diets while also hitting a home run in taste! See the notes in post for varieties.
1lbcarrotsends removed and cut into hot dog length pieces
½cupvegetable broth + more if carrots are extra large(you can also use vegan not-beef broth)
1teaspoonliquid smoke
BBQ saucefor basting
Black pepper
Buns + toppings of choice(see in post for notes)
Instructions
Place carrots in a large skillet with the vegetable broth and liquid smoke. Cover and steam until all liquid is absorbed and carrots are fork tender, about 20 minutes (may add more vegetable broth if liquid is absorbed and carrots are not cooked through- this is possible with extra large carrots).
Once tender, stop if doing low-histamine and serve. Otherwise, continue by transferring carrots to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with BBQ sauce and sprinkle with black pepper. Bake at 350° for 5-10 minutes, until carrots start to lightly brown.
Remove from oven, pop in buns of choice (white, whole wheat, or gluten-free), and garnish with desired toppings. Please see post notes for three types of toppings!
