Smokey No-nova

These little bites make a great brunchy appetizer!

I was in a fun and fancy free mood, I was also craving a bagel and lox. A quick google search confirmed a plant version is possible, my new mission: Create and devour.

I used a peeler to shave my carrots nice and thin. I also opted to keep my carrots raw. Just massage them, let them marinate for a few minutes and they are ready to go!

I decided to serve my carrots on toasted baguette slices but these carrots can be added to a bagel, salad, sandwich or pizza!

You can use your favorite 'cream cheese or nut cheese' spread on the toast points. I made a quick sunflower seed spread.

substitutions will give you less of a smokey, seafood taste and more of a savory bite.

• Sunflower spread

• 3/4 cup sunflower seeds

• garlic powder

• onion powder

• sea salt or smoked salt to taste

• 2 Tablespoons of nutrimental yeast (maybe more add a little at a time)

• 1/2 teaspoon camu camu**

Directions:

Add all ingredients to small blender, blend until creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.

notes:

*Camu Camu is a badass, super food, 1/2 teaspoon provides 400% of our DV of vitamin C! It is not necessary for this recipe but adds another layer of flavor and nutritional value!
