Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole Wheat Bagels
- 1 cup Raw Cashews
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 3 pieces Large Carrots
- 1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Dill
Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover with hot water. Soak for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel the large carrots using a vegetable peeler, creating long thin strips. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the liquid smoke, soy sauce, maple syrup, and olive oil. Add the carrot strips and toss well to coat.
Spread the marinated carrot strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove and let cool.
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews. Add them to a high-speed blender or food processor with lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and sea salt.
Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Add a small amount of water if necessary to achieve a creamy consistency.
Cut the whole wheat bagels in half and toast them to your preference.
Spread a generous amount of the cashew cream cheese on each toasted bagel half.
Top with a layer of the cooled carrot lox strips, a few capers, and garnish with fresh dill.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Classic Bagel with Cream Cheese and Lox.
