Ingredients For the "Pigs" 16 oz bag of baby carrots For the Blanket 2 cups of the Biscuit and Baking Mix 6 tablespoons vegan butter / coconut oil 2/3 cup vegan milk For the Marinade 1/2 cup soy sauce 1/2 cup vegetable broth 2/3 cup apple cider vinegar 3 tablespoons maple syrup 1 tablespoon yellow mustard 1 tablespoon garlic powder 3 tablespoons liquid smoke (start with 1 tablespoon and add more to taste as this is a very strong flavor) 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon juice from pickled pepperoncinis (can substitute white vinegar) Preparation Step 1 Preheat oven to 450°F Step 2 Prepare the "Pigs": Combine all marinade ingredients in a deep saucepan and adjust amounts to desired taste. Add in baby carrots and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes until fork tender. Turn off heat and leave to marinate for 1 hour. Step 3 Prepare the "Blanket": Make the biscuit dough per biscuit recipe on the back of the Biscuit and Baking Mix package. Separate dough into 4 equal sized balls - this is just to make the dough more manageable. You can also keep as one large dough ball. Roll dough balls out into 1 /8th inch thick rectangles approximately 6 - 7 inches wide. With a pizza cutter, cut long triangular shaped wedge s out of the rectangles. The wide side of the wedge should be slightly less wide than a baby carrot. The finished wedge should be about 6 - 7 inches long. Step 4 Put them together: Place a carrot on the wide end of a wedge, roll it up to wrap the dough around the carrot, and pinch the seam to seal. Place blanketed carrots, seam side down, on a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat for all carrots. Bake at 450 for 10 - 15 minutes or until golden brown. Previous Next
