Ingredients

8 medium carrots
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
⅓ cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
8 whole-wheat hot dog buns, toasted if desired
Ketchup, mustard, relish and/or sauerkraut for serving

Directions

Peel carrots and trim to fit the length of your hot dog buns. Bring a couple inches of water to a boil in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Add carrots, cover and steam until barely cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk broth, vinegar, soy sauce (or tamari), mustard, garlic powder and paprika in a sealable 1-gallon plastic bag. Add the carrots, seal and place the bag in the refrigerator keeping the carrots in a single layer. Marinate for at least 3 hours or up to 1 day, turning twice.
Preheat grill to high or heat a grill pan over high heat.
Remove the carrots from the marinade. Grill the carrots, turning once or twice, until they're hot and have grill marks, about 5 minutes. Serve on buns with your favorite condiments.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
