1 Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. While the water comes to a boil, peel and cut the carrots to the length of a hot dog bun—approximately 6 inches. Remove parts of the carrot, so the 6-inch portion is relatively uniform in size. If necessary, use a vegetable peeler to remove excess carrot.
2 In a large pot of boiling water, parboil the carrots until knife tender, approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the carrots into a colander. With a paper towel, pat the carrots dry and place on a sheet tray or plate.
3 In a small bowl, combine the yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, garlic, paprika, cumin, and ground mustard.
4 Using a spoon, smear the mustard over the carrots on all sides.
5 Prepare a grill for direct medium heat—350° to 450°F. Grill the carrots over direct heat, turning several times until marked all over, 6 to 8 minutes total.
6 Grill the hot dog buns, cut side down, over direct heat, until marked, 45 to 60 seconds.
7 Place a carrot in each grilled bun and eat with your favorite toppings. Did you love this recipe? Let us know with a rating and review!
