Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large carrots
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 loaf baguette
- 200 grams cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 small lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the large carrots and then continue peeling to create long, thin strips resembling smoked salmon. Discard the innermost core if it's too hard to peel.
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, liquid smoke, maple syrup, olive oil, sea salt, and smoked paprika. Whisk the marinade well.
Add the carrot strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated, and leave them to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Spread the marinated carrot strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the carrots in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, tossing halfway through for even cooking.
While the carrots are baking, slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Toast the baguette slices to your liking.
Spread a generous layer of cream cheese on each toasted baguette slice.
Once the carrot 'salmon' is done, let it cool for a few minutes.
Top each baguette slice with a few strips of carrot 'salmon'.
Garnish with capers, a sprinkle of fresh dill, and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
