Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Carrots
- 250 ml Water
- 250 ml Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sea salt
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 4 sprigs Dill sprigs
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into sticks or slices, depending on your preference, ensuring they are uniform in size for even pickling.
Peel and lightly smash the garlic cloves to release their flavor.
In a small saucepan, combine water, apple cider vinegar, honey, and sea salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the honey and salt are fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Place the cut carrots into a clean glass jar or jars (mason jars work well). Add the smashed garlic cloves, dill sprigs, red chili flakes, and black peppercorns to the jar(s).
Pour the warm vinegar mixture over the carrots, fully submerging them. Use a spoon to remove any air bubbles from the jar and ensure the carrots are completely covered by the liquid.
Seal the jar(s) tightly with a lid and allow them to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the jar(s) for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. The carrots will be ready to eat in 24-48 hours and will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve the zesty pickled carrots as a snack, salad topping, or condiment for wraps or Paleo meals.
