Peel the carrots and cut them into sticks approximately 3-4 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
In a medium saucepan, combine water, white vinegar, stevia, and salt. Stir to dissolve the stevia and salt.
Add mustard seeds, coriander seeds, black peppercorns, and the bay leaf to the saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the carrot sticks into a clean glass jar or several smaller jars for convenience.
Add the fresh dill sprigs and peeled garlic cloves into the jar, distributing them evenly if using multiple jars.
Carefully pour the hot pickling liquid over the carrots in the jar, ensuring the liquid covers all the carrots.
Seal the jar with a lid. Let the jar cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
Refrigerate the pickles for a minimum of 24 hours before serving for the best flavor. They can last up to 4-6 weeks in the refrigerator.
