Healthy Recipes Healthy Ingredient Recipes Healthy Vegetable Recipes Healthy Carrot Recipes Carrot Corn Dogs Be the first to rate & review! Tender carrots marinate to pick up smoky, savory flavors before they're wrapped in a cornmeal batter and fried until golden brown, just like a classic corn dog. Small, thin carrots, or baby carrots that are on the larger side, work best here. The carrots are ready to batter and fry in as little as 10 minutes, but you can marinate them overnight for even more flavor.

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.)
