Made with flaky crescent rolls and marinated baby carrots, these vegan pigs in a blanket are a fun take on a childhood favorite! A hit with the vegans and meat-eaters alike.
Boil: Add 2 cups vegetable broth, ½ cup apple cider vinegar, ¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup mustard, 2 tsp smoked paprika, and 1 tsp liquid smoke to a medium pot and whisk to combine. Add 32 baby carrots and bring to a simmer over medium/high. Cover and cook until carrots are fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Strain carrots from broth (broth can be saved and used again).
Roll: Unroll your 2 8-count tubes crescent rolls. Cut each triangle into 2 long pieces, to make 32 separate triangles. Place a carrot onto the wide end of each triangle, then roll.Preheat oven to 375°F (or 350°F for nonstick cookie sheet).
Bake: Arrange vegan pigs in blankets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each with melted butter then sprinkle with salt. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes
Dipping Sauce: These are great with any dipping sauce, but I especially love it with a mayo mustard! I do about 1 Tbsp of mayonnaise and 1 Tbsp of Dijon mustard.For calculating nutrition information we accounted for half of the broth, a lot of the broth is leftover after cooking. For this reason, the nutrition info for this recipe isn't exact, as it will depend on how much of the broth your carrots absorb.
