Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the carrots into thin strips using a vegetable peeler.
In a mixing bowl, combine liquid smoke, maple syrup, soy sauce, lemon juice, and olive oil.
Cut the nori sheet into small pieces using scissors and add it to the mixing bowl.
Add the carrot strips to the bowl and toss until well coated with the marinade.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the carrot strips evenly on it.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven, stir the carrot strips, and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until they have a slightly crispy texture.
Allow the carrot strips to cool slightly. They will firm up further as they cool.
Meanwhile, halve the bagels and toast them to your liking.
Spread vegan cream cheese generously over each half of the toasted bagels.
Top with the smoked carrot strips, followed by capers, sliced red onion, and fresh dill.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Vegan Smoked Salmon Bagels!
