MARINATED DILL CARROTS

Tips:
- To make the carrots as flavorful as possible, choose fresh, young carrots that are not too thick. You can use a vegetable peeler to remove the outer layer of the carrots if desired, but this is not necessary.
- The marinade for the carrots can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights or for when you're entertaining guests.
- If you don't have white vinegar on hand, you can use apple cider vinegar instead. Just be aware that the apple cider vinegar will give the carrots a slightly different flavor.
- Dill weed is the most common herb used to flavor marinated carrots, but you can also use other herbs, such as parsley, thyme, or basil.
- Marinated carrots are a great side dish for grilled or roasted meats and fish. They can also be served as part of a salad or appetizer platter.
Conclusion:
Marinated carrots are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed year-round. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them sweet, sour, or spicy, there is a marinated carrot recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give marinated carrots a try.
