Served with an umami-rich charred tomato ketchup and French’s® Classic Yellow Mustard, this carrot hot dog is an intriguing, veggie-forward play on an American classic.
Set oven to 425˚F. In a bowl, combine vegetable stock, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, smoked paprika, and garlic. Whisk until ingredients are evenly distributed. Place carrots in an appropriately sized hotel pan and pour stock mixture over top, carrots should not be submerged. Allow to marinate 30 minutes - 1 hour, tossing occasionally.
Cover hotel pan with foil and roast carrots for 30 minutes. Remove foil and turn carrots to coat in the marinade. Return to oven and cook until tender. Hold warm for service.
