Method
 

  1. Pre heat oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with foil or silicone mat.
Seasoning Mix
  1. Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until spices are ground.
Carrots
  1. Peel carrots and slice almost all the way in half lengthwise. (You want to create a groove to drizzle the soy sauce and liquid smoke) Spray carrots with a bit of olive oil spray.

  2. Top with mustard, sauerkraut, or your favorite hot dog condiment.
