"This is the easy old school bacon wrapped water chestnuts, veganized with vegan franks. The crunch of the water chestnut, along with the fat, sweetness and smoke of the melted margarine mixture makes this a good appetizer to serve to non-vegan friends and vegans alike"
Equipment:
toothpicks
baking sheet
bowl for melting and mixing margarine
oven or toaster oven
Ingredients: (for making around 11 pieces, using 2 "franks")
2 TBL melted vegan butter
2 TBL agave nectar , or 2 TBL sugar
as needed, vegan "hotdogs" (tofurkey has really good franks and, Field Roast has incredible, best in category franks, in my opinion) cut into bite size pieces
as needed, thick sliced water chestnuts
as needed, toothpicks
Method: preheat oven to 350 degrees
