Start with a pot of boiling salted water.

Prepare 4 carrots by cutting off the tops and bottoms to create a uniform shape.

Peel the carrots using a vegetable peeler and round out the edges for a hot dog shape.

Place the prepared carrots in a container.

Boil the carrots in the boiling water for 10-12 minutes, checking for firmness with a knife.

In a separate container, combine rice vinegar, liquid aminos, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard, and garlic pressed through a garlic press to create the marinade.

Add liquid smoke to the marinade mixture.

Once the carrots are cooked, transfer them directly into the marinade.

Let the carrots marinate for at least 12 to 24 hours, preferably 24 hours for better flavor absorption.

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add grapeseed oil.

Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated carrot dogs and sear them, covering the skillet to prevent splatter.
