How You’ll Make It
- Prep the carrots: Place julienned carrots into a clean pint-sized glass jar.
- Make the brine: In a small saucepan, combine water, vinegar, maple syrup, salt, and red chili flakes. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until salt dissolves (about 1–2 minutes).
- Pour and pickle: Carefully pour the hot brine over the carrots in the jar until they’re fully submerged. Use a spoon to press down the carrots if needed.
- Cool & refrigerate: Let the jar cool to room temperature, then seal with a lid and refrigerate.
- Wait: Let it pickle for at least 1 hour before using, but flavors improve after 24 hours.
Serving Ideas:
- Add to grain bowls or wraps
- Use as a spicy-sweet taco topping
- Serve alongside hummus or vegan cheese boards
