Carrot Lox Bagels 🥯🥕

A plant-based twist on a classic bagel topping! Thinly sliced, marinated carrots mimic the texture and flavor of smoked salmon, creating a surprisingly delicious breakfast option.

• 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Assembly

• Bagels, cream cheese, capers, and red onion

Directions

1. Peel carrots into thin strips. Steam for 5 minutes until tender.
2. Marinate with liquid smoke, soy sauce, olive oil, and paprika for at least 1 hour.
3. Layer on a bagel with cream cheese, capers, and onion.

This sounds so creative! I think using the carrot as a substitute for smoked salmon is brilliant, though I’d add a little dill and capers for extra flavor!
