Vegan Carrot Hot Dogs Recipe – Vegan Hot Dog Recipe – How To Make Vegan Hot Dogs

Ingredients: For the carrots:

• 8 large carrots
• 1 Tbsp oil
• 1 ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 2 heaping tsp paprika powder
• 1 ½ Tbsp soy sauce
• ½ cup / 120 ml water

For the creamy chickpea salad:

• 14 oz / 400 g canned chickpeas
• 3 medium pickles
• 1 small onion
• a big handful of lettuce
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp salt
• ground black pepper to taste
• ½ cup / 120 ml vegan light or heavy cream or sunflower sour cream or vegan mayo or homemade vegan cream

• Hot dog buns

Directions

1. Wash the carrots but don’t peel them. Boil them until soft but not mushy (don’t add any salt just yet). Drain and let them cool down. Mix oil with salt, herbs, paprika powder, soy sauce and water. Peel the carrots and put them into a plastic bag. Cover the carrots with marinade and let them marinate in the fridge for at least a few hours or overnight.
2. For the chickpea salad, drain and rinse the chickpeas. Mash them a little using a fork. Don’t mash them completely, leave some of them whole. Add thinly chopped pickles, onion and lettuce. Add vinegar, oregano, salt, pepper and vegan cream or sunflower sour cream. Mix everything together. Put the salad into a fridge until it’s time to grill the carrots.
3. To make perfectly soft hot dog buns, use this yeast dough recipe. Just make the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour. Then knead the dough again and divide it into 8 pieces. Form 8 hot dog buns (if the dough sticks, make your hands a bit oily) and place them on a baking tray covered with parchment paper. It’s good to place them near to each other, then they will stick together when baking and the sides will be much more softer. Let the buns rise in a warm place for about 40 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 F / 200 C. Bake the buns for 20 minutes. Don’t overbake them. They need to be just lightly golden brown on the top and bottom. Take the buns out of the oven, brush them with water and cover them with a moist kitchen towel. Let them be until you grill the carrots.
4. Take the marinated carrots and put them onto a stick. Grill them until they have grill marks and start to get much more darker. Take a hot dog bun and cut it open. Cover the inner sides of the bun with a little bit of ketchup. Add a lettuce leave, grilled carrot and top it all of with a load of chickpea salad. Enjoy!
