Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 1 sheet Nori sheets
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 4 tablespoons Vegan cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 0.5 small, thinly sliced Red onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped Dill
- 0.5 medium, cut into wedges Lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the large carrots and slice them lengthwise into thin strips using either a vegetable peeler or a mandoline.
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, liquid smoke, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and crumble the nori sheet into small pieces. Add salt and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the carrot strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated, and let them marinate for about 5-10 minutes.
Place the marinated carrot strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading them out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the carrots are baking, spread 1 tablespoon of vegan cream cheese onto each slice of whole grain bread.
Once the carrot 'salmon' is ready, assemble the sandwiches by layering the vegan smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese.
Add a few capers and thin slices of red onion to each sandwich.
Sprinkle some fresh chopped dill and squeeze a lemon wedge over the top for added flavor.
Top each with another slice of bread or serve open-faced, and enjoy your vegan smoked salmon sandwich.
