What? Yes, yes I did! The ever trendy carrot dog! For the longest time, longer than I can even remember, I've wanted to make the "carrot dog".  Even when I still ate beef, back in the day, I never liked hot dogs (I mean really...what is a hot dog? Is it even cow in the first place? YUCK!) Now if you're shaking you head thinking carrot dogs sound gross, just hold up. You are in for a very tasty surprise!

Gluten-free and vegan, this healthy meatless recipe will have your taste buds fooled and your body thanking you!

How could a carrot possibly pass for a hot dog? Well, just the same way as cauliflower rice can pass for rice. We all know it's completely different, but that doesn't mean it isn't a tasty fun alternative! I wholeheartedly believe carrot dogs are the definition of fun food! Carrot are one of those jack of all trades food. It can make mac and cheese, killer waffles, and of course take on the role of a hot diggidy dog!

Not only is this recipe prepping you for summer bbqs ans cook-outs, but I made it Mexican style for a little Cinco de Mayo fun! Forget the tacos and quesadillas, carrot dogs are where it's at! I've paired these dogs with a refreshing, not so spicy, chunky salsa verde. This salsa included green chiles, tomatillos, chayote squash, green bell pepper and a few other extra spices. The salsa is so good I think I'll be making it alone as is for topping on any dish!

Y'all do remember I love salsa verde, right? Well this was my first homemade version and new favorite. When this whole dish is assembled, it just looks and smells like summer. That salsa really does it! Plus, you grill the carrots after marinating and all is right in the world. I didn't even have to worry about having gas in the big outdoor grill for these. I used my trusty dusty grill pan (in love! You should buy one!) They come in handy for those chilly winter months or, if you're like me, and you grill runs out of gas or won;t light 7 out of 10 times!

Enough blabbing! Are you ready for some summer Mexican food fun? You think carrot dogs will ever surpass the almighty veggie burger? Probably not....but who know! I'll never diss the dog (even though I just made a new freeze batch of veggie burgers over the weekend...opps!)

  • Yield: 4 1x
  • Category: Main, Condiment
  • Cuisine: Mexican

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Large Whole Carrots
  • Marinade:
  • ½ Cup Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ¼ Cup Coconut Aminos
  • 3 Tsp Liquid Smoke (I used hickoy flavor)
  • 2 Tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 Tsp Minced Garlic
  • 1 Tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 TB Chili Powder
  • 1 Tsp Smoked Paprika
  • Salsa Verde:
  • ½ Cup Mild Diced Roasted Green Chiles
  • 3 Large Tomatillos (chopped)
  • 1 Chayote Squash (chopped)
  • 1 Small Green Bell Pepper (chopped)
  • 1 Large Shallot (chopped)
  • 2 TB Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 Tsp Minced Garlic
  • Extras:
  • 4 Gluten-Free Hot Dog Buns
  • Romaine Lettuce
  • Ketchup

Instructions

  1. Remove the green tops from your carrots and then boil them whole in a large pot, or saute pan with lid, of water for about 5-8 minutes until just fork tender. Remove and allow to cool.
  2. In a large plastic bag, combine all the marinade ingredients. Then place the boiled carrots in and refrigerate for 3-4 hours.
  3. Meanwhile, prep the salsa but roughly chopping all ingredients and then pulsing it all together in a food processor. Keep it chunky!
  4. Once the carrots have marinated, heat a grill pan over medium high heat, on the stove. Grill your carrots for 10 minutes, rotating every few minutes to get grill marks on all sides as best you can.
  5. Serve the grilled carrots on a gluten-free hot dog bun and top with salsa, lettuce, ketchup, anything else you'd like!

    I am so glad you shared this! I am struggling with eating animal protein. I have never eaten it very well since childhood, but do eat it, but lately I really struggle, but I also have stomach issues since my gallbladder was removed so veggies can irritate my stomach so you can see my quandry. What to eat that isn't a cheap carb??? I WILL be trying this one!!! THank you!!!!!

    This is such a great idea! I've been vegetarian since I was very young and at BBQs I usually end up eating a salad, grilled veggies, or a veggie patty. This is a great alternative. Never heard of doing this before! I printed this recipe so that I can share with my vegetarian friends.

Literally, what are we doing if we’re not combining the two coziest quick breads into one? Naturally moist and sweet from real pumpkin and ripe bananas, which makes it perfect for a gluten-free recipe that needs extra moisture and an eggless recipe since pumpkin and banana are OG vegan egg replacements! This gluten-free pumpkin banana bread is a blank slate for any cozy add-ins you can dream of, but its simplicity is what makes it shine on its own! 😋🙌

Celiac Disease is NOT a food allergy 🚫🍞 So Celiac Disease is NOT a food allergy 🚫🍞

So many people still confuse the two, but it’s an autoimmune disease, not an allergy. That means gluten doesn’t cause an immediate allergic reaction resulting in hives or swelling…it causes your immune system to attack your small intestine longterm. 

This distinction matters because:
👉 There’s no medication or quick fix
👉 The only treatment is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet
👉 Mislabeling it as an “allergy” is scientifically incorrect. There is no such thing as a gluten allergy.

Swipe through to learn why the distinction is inportant and why accurate education and awareness is paramount. Let’s set the record straight and not mislabel our disease when speaking about it. 💛
