@maxlamanna 🥕🥯✨CARROT “LOX” & BAGELS Have you ever seen CARROT “LOX” before? This bagel combo is no waste, all taste! Perfect for a delicious weekend brunch or adding a healthy twist to salads and grain bowls. Try it once and you’ll be hooked. You won’t believe how effortless it is to turn ordinary carrots into a delightful treat. All you need to do is really peel the carrots into ribbons - either bake on a low heat in the oven or soak in boiling water for a few minutes until soft. Then let the soft carrot peels marinate overnight or up to one hour before serving. Serve with bagels, of course. The cashew cream cheese is also a nice touch. Soaked cashews are blended until smooth with “yoghurt”, apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, salt and a splash of water. Don’t miss out on this sensational CARROT “LOX” & BAGEL recipe which can be found in my new cookbook YOU CAN COOK THIS! Order a copy of the book today and receive it tomorrow! All the links are in my profile. Happy cooking! #veganrecipes #carrot #carrotlox #nowaste #recipes
