Pickled carrots in a glass jar

Pickled Carrots

Pickled carrots have long been a staple in many cultures, known for their crisp texture and tangy, slightly spicy flavor. They are often served as a side dish, a topping for tacos, or as part of a charcuterie board. The pickling process enhances the natural sweetness of the carrots while balancing it with the acidity of vinegar. Whether you enjoy them on their own or as an accompaniment to grilled meats, pickled carrots are a simple yet flavorful addition to any meal. A pro tip: If you want extra crunch, blanch the carrots for just 1-2 minutes before pickling to maintain their firmness!
