Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into sticks of similar size (or enough to tightly pack the jar)
  • 1 tbsp unrefined, non-iodized fine sea salt
  • ½ tsp dried dill or 1 sprig fresh dill
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
  • Filtered water
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

Method
 

  1. Combine the smashed garlic cloves, dried dill, and 1 Tbsp. fine sea salt in the bottom of a clean quart-size mason jar.
  2. Tightly pack the peeled carrot sticks vertically into the jar, ensuring they are snug to prevent floating.
  3. Fill the jar with filtered water, leaving about one inch of headspace at the top.
  4. Loosen the lid slightly and place the jar at room temperature (around 70°F/21°C) for 3-5 days, checking daily for desired crunch and sourness.
  5. Once fermented to your liking, tighten the lid and transfer the jar to the refrigerator for storage up to 6 months.

Notes

- Ensure carrots are fully submerged to prevent mold.
- Taste daily after day 3 to find your perfect level of tanginess.
- Store in the fridge; they last for months!
