Carrot Dogs! Why haven’t I heard of this before?

It is time for carrots to become a fast food treat, so move over tater tots.

This seems so strange, but I am definitely bringing them to my next BBQ. Basically, a steamed, marinated carrot replaces a hot dog. It tastes remarkably similar somehow, and you get to skip all the nitrates and unknown ground-up animal bits.

Found this Carrot Dog recipe on Clean Eating Veggie Girl. It was super easy, except you have to plan ahead since they marinate overnight.

It was a big hit. Give it a try… the only thing I would do differently is use thicker carrots next time.
