How to make Grilled Carrot "Hot Dogs" with Tangy Slaw

Combine carrots, maple syrup, soy sauce, adobo sauce, and 240ml water in a deep, large saucepan. Cover and cook over medium-high heat 10 minutes. Uncover, reduce heat to medium-low, and continue to cook, shaking pan occasionally, until liquid is completely reduced and carrots are coated in glaze, 2–3 minutes more.

Meanwhile, whisk honey, salt, pepper, 120ml mayonnaise, and 45ml lime juice in a large bowl until smooth. Thinly slice half of onion to yield about 1/4 cup. Add onion, cabbage, beans, and 1/3 cup coriander to bowl and stir to combine.

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high; oil grate or pan. Grill carrots, turning once, until browned and slightly charred, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer carrots to a plate. Toast buns until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Transfer buns to plate.

Finely chop remaining half of onion to yield 45ml Mix remaining 60ml mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon lime juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Nestle 2 carrots into buns with large ends on opposite sides. Drizzle with mayonnaise mixture, then top with finely chopped onion, Corn Nuts, and 45ml coriander leaves. Serve with coleslaw alongside.

Carrots and slaw can be made 3 days ahead. Store separately in airtight containers and chill.
