Veggie Dog Recipe

Veggie Dog Directions

1. 1

   Prep the Veggies

   Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into sticks that are about the length of a hot dog. Slice the zucchini and red bell pepper into similar sized sticks.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the carrot sticks, zucchini, and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.

3. 3

   Season the Veggies

   Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the sautéed vegetables. Mix well and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the spices to meld.

4. 4

   Prepare the Buns

   While the veggies are cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat hot dog buns on a skillet or in a toaster.

5. 5

   Assemble the Veggie Dogs

   Fill each toasted hot dog bun with the sautéed vegetable mix. Add mustard and ketchup on top according to your taste.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the assembled veggie dogs for garnish. Serve immediately.
