Start by sterilizing a large glass jar or two smaller jars with lids. You can do this by boiling them in water for a few minutes and then letting them air dry.
Prepare the vegetables: Slice the cucumbers, radishes, and carrot. Seed and julienne the red bell pepper. Trim the green beans. Ensure all pieces are relatively uniform in size for even pickling.
Place the sliced vegetables, garlic cloves, and dill sprigs into the jar(s). Distribute them evenly if using multiple jars.
In a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, kosher salt, and erythritol. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the salt and erythritol have fully dissolved. This should take about 5 minutes.
Add mustard seeds, black peppercorns, and red pepper flakes to the saucepan and stir.
Bring the brine to a gentle simmer for another 5 minutes to help infuse the flavors.
Pour the hot brine over the vegetables, ensuring they are completely submerged. Leave some space at the top of the jar to allow for expansion.
Seal the jars with lids and let them cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
Allow the pickled vegetables to sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving to let the flavors meld and the vegetables pickle. For best results, wait 48 hours.
Serve these keto crispy pickled vegetables as a snack or alongside your favorite keto dishes!
