Hot dogs are a favorite snack of summertime. But as delicious as they undeniably are, they aren’t necessarily the healthiest thing that you can put in your body. At least, they weren’t — until now.
In the latest food craze to sweep Twitter, one user is showing how you can enjoy a true veggie dog. And all that you’re going to need is a bag of carrots.
Before you do anything, make sure to wash and peel your carrots.
You can also go ahead and chop off the root ends , as well as the tips.
Dry off the carrot sticks and then set them aside in an easy-to-reach spot.
Add a tablespoon of olive oil to a frying pan and set it to medium.
From here, you can also add whatever spices you prefer. A pinch of salt and a few generous cracks of pepper will go a long way.
If you also happen to have some garlic powder in your cupboard — you can add just a dash.
Once the carrots have softened and are cooked through, remove them from the frying pan.
Slide the carrot sticks into the buns and garnish the same way you would a beef or pork hotdog. Ketchup and mustard isn’t just a recommendation — it’s a must-have.
From there, all that’s left to do is dig in and enjoy!
This incredibly simple and delicious recipe is a great alternative to eating meat, as well as a health-conscious snack to help make the dog days of summer even more enjoyable.
