Vegan Pigs in a Blanket
These vegan pigs in a blanket are so easy to make and they're the perfect game day appetizer or snack. Carrots replace hot dogs in this healthy update of pigs in a blanket. Soaking the carrot "dogs" in a smoky marinade is the key to giving them that flavor, for a vegan app meat-eaters will love too. Serve with dipping honey mustard or ranch dressing to take these to the next level.
