These crunchy carrots are naturally fermented, creating beneficial probiotics that help support a healthy gut. They make a refreshing snack and are perfect alongside sandwiches, salads, or summer picnics.
Ingredients:
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
2 cups filtered water
1 tablespoon sea salt
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 sprigs fresh dill
½ teaspoon black peppercorns
Instructions:
Dissolve the salt in the water to make a brine.
Place the carrots, garlic, dill, and peppercorns into a clean wide-mouth jar.
Pour the brine over the vegetables, ensuring everything remains submerged.
Cover with a fermentation lid or loosely fitted lid.
Allow to ferment at room temperature for 5 to 7 days, checking daily.
Once the carrots reach your preferred tanginess, transfer the jar to the refrigerator.
Pro Tip:
☀️ The warmer your kitchen, the faster the fermentation process will be. Start tasting around day 4.
