Instructions
- Peel carrots and trim a bit, so they fit the length of your hot dog buns. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan with a little bit of water. Add carrots, cover, and steam for 10-15 minutes, or until tender but still have a snap.
- Meanwhile whisk together marinade ingredients. Transfer carrots to a dish or container. Pour marinade over the carrots, and marinate overnight or for at least 2 hours (the longer the better).
- Heat a grill pan over high heat, and toast buns slightly. Set aside.
- Add carrots to grill pan with a few tablespoons of the marinade and cook each side for 3-4 minutes, until browned and slightly charred.
- Serve immediately on buns with your favorite toppings and condiments. Enjoy!
