Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole Large carrots
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 4 whole Bagels
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 whole Lemon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the carrots and cut them into thin strips using a vegetable peeler or mandoline to create long, thin ribbons.
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, liquid smoke, maple syrup, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the carrot ribbons to the marinade and mix well, ensuring they are fully coated.
Spread the marinated carrot ribbons on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
While your carrot 'salmon' is baking, slice the bagels in half and toast them until lightly crisped.
Finely chop the red onion and fresh dill, then slice the lemon into wedges.
Once the carrot ribbons are done, allow them to cool slightly before assembling the bagels.
Spread cream cheese evenly on each bagel half.
Top with a generous portion of the smoked carrot ribbons.
Sprinkle chopped red onion, capers, and fresh dill over the top for garnish and flavor.
Serve each bagel with a lemon wedge for an optional zesty squeeze before enjoying.
