Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the carrots and use a vegetable peeler or mandoline to slice them into thin ribbons.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, liquid smoke, soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
Crumble the nori sheet into small pieces and add it to the marinade.
Add the carrot ribbons to the bowl and gently toss until they are fully coated with the marinade.
Transfer the marinated carrot ribbons to a baking dish lined with parchment paper, spreading them out evenly.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the carrots are tender and absorb the smoky flavor.
Let the carrots cool to room temperature.
While the carrots are cooling, slice the baguette into four equal pieces and then slice each piece in half lengthwise.
Toast the baguette slices lightly if desired.
Spread a generous layer of vegan cream cheese on each baguette slice.
Thinly slice the red onion and distribute it evenly over the cream cheese.
Divide the smoked carrot 'salmon' onto the baguette slices.
Top with capers, a sprinkle of fresh dill, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Smoked Salmon Baguette!
