Start by thoroughly washing and drying the radishes. Slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. If they are large, you may want to cut them in half first.
Peel the garlic clove and slightly crush it with the side of a knife to release its flavor.
In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring until the salt is fully dissolved. Once dissolved, remove from heat.
Place the sliced radishes into a clean glass jar along with the garlic clove, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, and red chili flakes.
Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the radishes in the jar, making sure all the slices are submerged. If necessary, you can use a clean spoon to push them down.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover the jar tightly with a lid.
Refrigerate the pickled radishes for at least 4 hours before serving, although they develop a more intense flavor if left overnight.
These sugar-free pickled radishes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
