Love zucchini? Try this creative recipe for zucchini marinara dogs – a tasty vegetarian option for your next gathering.
Zucchini-Marinara Dogs
Before you know your garden, as well as your neighbors, will be exploding with zucchini. We all wait with anticipation for zucchini season to start and end, once we get tired of finding ways to use it. It requires a lot of creativity but zucchini is really one of the most versatile veggies out there.
This recipe not only finds a great use for this abundant vegetable, but is also a great option for our vegetarian guests. You can still have your meat laden barbecue and serve this too. Even the non-vegetarian’s are going to love this idea. Not everyone adores hot dogs anyway.
Slice your zucchini lengthwise. You’ll want your zucchini to be a little longer than your hot dogs buns.
Slightly brown and soften your sliced onions in vegetable oil, this will take about 10 minutes. Make sure you do this on low heat to keep from burning.
In order to compensate for the texture of the hot dog, since zucchini is softer, make sure to brush olive oil on your hot dog buns and toast them until crunchy.
Enjoy!

I like doing a “carrot dog,” with a whole carrot microwaved until slightly soft, but not mushy.
