  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 clove garlic, sliced optional

  2. Place carrot sticks in a jar or container.
  3. Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the carrots, ensuring they are fully submerged.

Notes

Store your pickled carrots in the fridge where they'll stay delicious for up to two weeks. Keep them submerged in the brine to maintain crispiness.
