Peel and thinly slice the carrots lengthwise using a vegetable peeler to create long strips that resemble smoked salmon slices.
In a bowl, combine the liquid smoke, soy sauce, maple syrup, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Submerge the carrot slices in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the carrots are marinating, slice the red onion thinly and chop the fresh dill. Set both aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Remove the carrot slices from the marinade, allowing the excess liquid to drip off, and place them in the skillet.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the carrots become tender and slightly golden, resembling smoked salmon.
Toast the bagels until golden brown.
Spread 2 tablespoons of vegan cream cheese on each half of the toasted bagels.
Evenly distribute the smoked carrot slices on top of the cream cheese.
Garnish with capers, sliced red onion, and fresh dill.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vegan bagel with cream cheese and smoked carrot salmon.
