Carrots replace cocktail wieners in this healthy update of pigs in a blanket. Soaking the carrot “dogs” in a smoky marinade is the key to giving them that hot dog flavor, for a vegan app meat-eaters will love too. Serve with dipping sauces like honey mustard or ranch dressing to take these to the next level.

Ingredients
-
24 large baby carrots
-
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
-
⅓ cup cider vinegar
-
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari
-
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
-
1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough, preferably organic
Directions
-
Bring a couple of inches of water to a boil in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add carrots, cover and steam until barely cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk broth, vinegar, soy sauce (or tamari), mustard, garlic powder and smoked paprika in a medium bowl. Add the steamed carrots; cover and refrigerate for at least 5 hours or up to one day.
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Drain the carrots and pat dry. Unroll and separate the crescent rolls; cut each into 3 similar pieces. Place a carrot on a piece of dough and roll up. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining carrots and dough. Bake until golden, 12 to 14 minutes.

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.)
