Carrots replace cocktail wieners in this healthy update of pigs in a blanket. Soaking the carrot "dogs" in a smoky marinade is the key to giving them that hot dog flavor, for a vegan app meat-eaters will love too. Serve with dipping sauces like honey mustard or ranch dressing to take these to the next level.

Blue Corn Botanita

<p>Top blue corn tortilla chips with mango slices, cotija cheese and a squeeze of lime juice for a colorful appetizer.

Finely crumbled Parmesan cheese can be used as a substitute.</p>
