Our Vegan Smørrebrød with Carrot Lox is a super yummy, delicious, and quick appetizer! Smørrebrød is an open-faced rye sandwich piled high with toppings. It’s one very essential dish from the Danish culture, and it’s the toppings that make it special. Traditionally, many of the toppings involve fish and meat, but here we are showing you our favourite way to make Vegan Smørrebrød, topped with delicious vegan smoked salmon made with carrots that has a very “fishy” taste.

This is a great appetizer, snack, or even perfect for a weekend breakfast or brunch. Everyone will love them!

Now let’s talk about the Carrot Lox:

This vegan smoked salmon is super yummy and it tastes very “fishy” thanks to 2 crucial ingredients: wakame flakes and flaxseed oil. So do not skip them! For the smoky flavour, it’s essential that you roast the carrots sprinkled with lots of sea salt and the addition of smoked paprika and liquid smoke to the marinade. The fact that this smoked vegan salmon is made of carrots means that it’s pretty healthy and made with easy ingredients. Low in fat, and quick, you’ll love it!

Vegan Smørrebrød Assembly

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF/180ºC.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Coat the bottom with a layer of sea salt, then place the whole peeled carrots over the salt and sprinkle with a large amount of salt extra.
  • Bake the carrots for 30-40 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork, but not mushy. It could take longer, depending on the size and freshness of your carrots.
  • In the meantime, make the marinade.
  • In a high-speed blender, add all the marinade ingredients, and blend until smooth.
  • Remove the carrots from the oven and let cool. Rub off any excess salt. Use a peeler or a cheese slicer to peel the carrot into ribbons.
  • Transfer the carrot ribbons into a sealed container and pour the marinade mixture from the blender over them, tossing to coat. Refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day, assemble the open-faced sandwiches with a slice of Danish rye bread, a slather of our vegan cream cheese, a couple of cucumber and radish slices, and top it all with 3-4 carrot ribbons, a thin slice of red onion, and some fresh chopped dill.
  • Enjoy this Vegan Smørrebrød, it's delicious!
