The time varies to the thickness of the carrot which can be tiny or very large. The tell is stop cooking when a fork easily pierces them.

I made these with a marinade of tarragon vinegar, lite soy sauce, liquid smoke and a 21 blend spice mix. They absolutely smelled like hotdogs and have none of the downside of hotdogs. I topped mine with mustard, spicy relish and chopped onion. Thank you! Great Memorial Day treat!

You could try using some smoked paprika. Instead of using it in the marinade, I would sprinkle it on right before I do the final cooking step.

Thanks for the recipe – I had fun with it. They smelled like hot dogs, they actually looked like hot dogs and even had the right texture… but they are not hot dogs 🙂 No difference to me, they were tasty and really more importantly, they were fun to eat. I rolled them up in some romaine lettuce and dipped them in mustard and was a happy camper…

It’s just a low sodium, gluten and soy-free soy. Soy sauce will work fine. I say to use unseasoned vinegar when you use soy sauce because there’s more sodium in the soy. It will taste great!
