Description
Elevate your snacking game with these irresistible Hot Honey Pickled Carrots. Bursting with a sweet and spicy flavor profile, these quick pickled carrots are a delightful appetizer or side dish that’s ready in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
– 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
– 1 cup apple cider vinegar
– 1/2 cup honey
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
– 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the honey is fully dissolved.
2. Add the sliced carrots to the saucepan and stir to coat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the carrots are tender but still have a slight crunch.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pickled carrots cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
4. Transfer the pickled carrots and brine to a clean jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 weeks, before serving.
Notes
For best texture, let the carrots pickle for at least 1 hour before serving. The longer they sit, the more flavorful they will become. Serve the pickled carrots as an appetizer, side dish, or component in other recipes.
