Cook Time 1 hour
Total Time 2 days

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large carrots peeled but left whole
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 teaspoons liquid smoke
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375F.
  • Place carrots on a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to create a loose cocoon around them and sprinkle with salt.
  • Loosely seal the carrots in their foil cocoon, place on a baking sheet and roast for 45-60 minutes until very soft.
  • When cool enough to handle, slice carrots thinly in slightly irregular shapes to resemble smoked salmon.
  • In a glass dish, mix remaining marinade ingredients and add carrots.
  • Stir gently to coat.
  • Marinade covered in the fridge 24-48 hours. Best flavor and texture is after 48 hours.
  • Check and stir occasionally to be sure the carrots are still coated with marinade.
  • When ready to serve, be sure to bring the carrots back to room temperature so the oil is shiny again.
  • Serve on cream cheese with capers on bagels, toast, or crackers.
  • Will keep refrigerated up to one week.
