Ingredients
- 3 pcs Large carrots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Vegan cream cheese
- 0.25 cup Capers
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 4 pcs Bagels, vegan
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Peel the carrots and slice them into thin strips using a vegetable peeler or mandoline.
Step 3
Place carrot strips on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, until carrots are soft and have a slight char.
Step 5
While carrots are roasting, prepare the marinade. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, liquid smoke, rice vinegar, maple syrup, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 6
Once carrots are done roasting, transfer them to a shallow dish and pour the marinade over. Ensure all carrot strips are coated. Let them marinate for at least 20 minutes, or longer for a stronger flavor.
Step 7
While the carrot 'lox' is marinating, slice the bagels in half and toast them to your liking.
Step 8
Spread a generous amount of vegan cream cheese on each bagel half.
Step 9
Layer the marinated carrot 'lox' on top of the cream cheese.
Step 10
Top with capers, red onion slices, and chopped dill.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your vegan bagel with lox and cream cheese!
