Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 240 milliliters water
- 240 milliliters white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons erythritol (or any granular low-carb sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 2 sprigs dill sprigs (optional)
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
Directions
Step 1
Peel the carrots and cut them into thin sticks approximately 3-4 inches long (or to fit vertically into your jars, if using).
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine water, white vinegar, erythritol, salt, and mustard seeds. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sweetener and salt dissolve. Remove from heat.
Step 3
Meanwhile, divide the garlic cloves, red chili flakes, black peppercorns, and optional dill sprigs evenly among sterilized glass jars.
Step 4
Pack the carrot sticks tightly into the jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top of each jar.
Step 5
Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the carrots in the jars, ensuring the liquid completely submerges the carrots. Leave a small gap at the top to allow for expansion.
Step 6
Seal the jars with lids and allow them to cool to room temperature. Once cool, transfer to the refrigerator.
Step 7
Let the pickled carrots marinate for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop. They will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
