-
1/4 c. vegetable broth
-
1 tsp. low sodium soy sauce
-
2 tbsp. olive oil
-
1/2 tsp. liquid smoke
-
1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
-
1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
Directions
- In a food processor, add garlic, cilantro, mint, parsley, jalapenos, lemon juice, cumin, salt and pepper, and pulse to combine.
- While the processor is running, slowly drizzle olive oil until blended, but remains bit coarse.
- Transfer to container and reserve.
- Slice carrots into thin strips using either a mandolin or food processor to keep uniform.
- In a small bowl whisk together broth, soy sauce, olive oil, liquid smoke, vinegar and smoked paprika.
- In a shallow dish, toss sliced carrots with mixture until carrots are completely coated, let sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb flavor.
- Arrange carrot slices on a foil-wrapped baking sheet, so that they do not overlap.
- Bake for 7 minutes. Pull baking sheet from oven, and flip carrots.
- Return to oven and bake for another 7-8 minutes. Carrots may vary in time to be completed based on thickness of carrots.
- Carrots will be finished when the edges are crispy and the center of each slice looks dry.
- Transfer carrots to a plate with a paper towel to soak up any extra oil.
- Meanwhile, toast four slices of bread.
- Toss diced avocado in green Harissa dressing and adjust seasoning to your liking.
- Spread hummus on top and bottom slices of bread.
- Place two slices of cheese, two slices of red onion, and two slices of tomato on 2 slices of bread.
- Place a healthy stack of carrot “bacon” on top of tomato.
- Place a handful of alfalfa sprouts on top of sliced tomato.
- Place top piece of toast over carrot “bacon”.
- Finish sandwich with top piece of toast. If needed, stick toothpick through sandwich to hold together.
- Enjoy!
