Peel and cut carrots down to bun length. Add to medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook just until fork-tender, 6 to 8 minutes; do not overcook. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop additional cooking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, liquid smoke, vinegar, paprika, mustard, onion powder, and garlic powder until well-mixed. Pour into a gallon-sized resealable bag and add carrots, tossing to coat evenly. Seal bag and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
Spray cold grates of grill with grilling spray and preheat to medium. Remove carrots from marinade, reserving marinade, and grill until grill-marked and heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes per side, basting with leftover marinade halfway through cooking.
Remove from grill, place in hot dog buns, and top each with heated Gardein® Plant-Based Chili. Garnish with cheese, onion, and jalapeño slices, if desired.
Carrot dogs can also be prepared on the stovetop. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium. Add marinaded carrots and 1/2 cup marinade and cook until heated through, about 7 minutes.
