Wash the mixed bell peppers thoroughly and slice them into thin rings, discarding the seeds.
Peel the garlic cloves and gently crush them using the flat side of a knife.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, apple cider vinegar, and Whole30 compliant salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to ensure the salt dissolves completely.
Once the mixture begins to boil, add the whole black peppercorns, dill seed, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Carefully pack the sliced bell peppers and crushed garlic cloves into sterilized glass jars, leaving about half an inch of space at the top.
Pour the hot pickling liquid over the peppers in each jar, ensuring the peppers are fully submerged.
Seal the jars tightly with lids and let them cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, place the jars in the refrigerator and allow the peppers to pickle for at least 24 hours before consuming for optimal flavor.
