I'm seeing this pop up on a couple of foodie sites. A couple way to do it, from super healthy, to almost as bad as real hot dogs. Do a youtube search for ideas...

Have fun, looks like too much work for my tastes haha.

    OMG no!! Why bother. Eat some steamed carrots with butter. Much better.

    I'm actually down with a few substitutions here or there but this is a no. I've even done carrot fries...I mean they're just roasted carrot sticks. This just doesn't make sense to me. Especially since hot dogs don't even have that many calories.

    I have seen this a couple times - Cauliflower Pizza Dough. Almost a hotdog bun :)

    That's what I don't get either...get rid of some protein and fat and put more carbs on the bun? Weird...

    lol. Yeah that would do nothing for my macros really. The only thing I don't like about hot dogs is I need about 6 to be satisfied.

    I like using BBQ zucchini sticks for the "hotdog", just because it tastes awesome.

    I can't imagine wanting a carrot sandwich. I'll continue to eat my carrots without a bun.
    If I wanted a hot dog I would eat one.

    This. I love roasted carrots, but I've never thought of eating a carrot sandwich...I'd try it if it were in front of me, though!

    If I wanted a vegetarian/vegan option for a hot dog, I'd go with Morning Star or Boca. Roasted carrot =/= hot dog.

    It sounds like a way to ruin both the poor carrot and the bun. Who wants to eat a carrot-filled sandwich? A real hotdog with a carrot salad sounds far more appetizing, and I doubt it has that many more calories.

    Ya know what, I bet this would work with a banh mi theme. Cilantro, jalapenos, something pickled (not the carrots), perhaps just the daikon.
