Ingredients
- 500 grams Carrots
- 250 milliliters White vinegar
- 250 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol (or another keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Whole black peppercorns
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 piece Bay leaf
- 2 sprigs Fresh dill (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and trim the carrots, then cut them into thin sticks or rounds, depending on your preference. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, erythritol, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sweetener and salt are fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let the brine cool slightly.
Step 3
While the brine cools, prepare two sterilized 250ml jars. Add one garlic clove, half the black peppercorns, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and half a bay leaf to each jar.
Step 4
Pack the carrot sticks or rounds tightly into the jars, leaving a little space at the top.
Step 5
Pour the warm brine over the carrots, ensuring they are fully submerged. Add a sprig of fresh dill to each jar if desired.
Step 6
Seal the jars with lids and let them cool to room temperature on the countertop.
Step 7
Once cooled, refrigerate the jars for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to develop. The pickled carrots will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
