Carrot Dogs

• ½ cup soy sauce
• ½ cup water
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tsp liquid smoke
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• 4–6 large carrots or a bag of baby carrots

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Boil the carrots for about 10–15 minutes, depending on thickness.
2. Mix together the other ingredients while the carrots are boiling.
3. Once the carrots are done, put them in a container and cover them with the marinade sauce.
4. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
5. Once the carrots are sufficiently marinated, cook them in a pan, on a grill, in the microwave, or wherever you prefer.
6. They’re also really good chopped up and cooked in this three-bean chili recipe.

This recipe is lifted almost unchanged from Plant Power Couple. All I did was omit the apple cider vinegar, since I felt it made the end result a little too vinegar-y.
