The Best Carrot Dogs Ever

When the carrot dog trend started to make it way around the internet I was very skeptical.

How can carrots taste like a hot dog?

And many of the recipes I came across needed special vegan ingredients that you would need to go to a specialty store to get. And with me living in the south there are not any vegan specialty stores nearby.

So I looked in my fridge and came up with my own recipe.

And if I am being honest these carrot dogs are good! The have that little resistance that hot dogs have and when you boil the carrots they are able to absorb any flavor making them delicious.

So keep reading to get my recipe!
