Carrot "Lox"

A simple treat when you are craving bagels and lox! The secret is to let it marinade, so if you have time, definitely let the carrots sit for the full two hours. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced 1/8 inch thin
1/8 c. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. liquid smoke
1 tsp. kelp powder
1/2 tsp. "Old Bay" seasoning






Directions:

1. Place the sliced carrots in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, mix the soy sauce, olive oil, liquid smoke, kelp powder, and "old bay" seasoning. Pour sauce over carrots. Toss to make sure all carrots are coated. Marinade for at least 20 minutes up to two hours.

2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

3. In a single layer, place carrots and excess marinade on a rimmed baking sheet. Cover with foil and cook undisturbed for 20 minutes.

4. Remove from oven and allow to steam for 5 more minutes. Remove foil and serve as you would lox. I recommend on a bagel with cream cheese (vegan or non-vegan) and sliced red onion.
