Yield Makes 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound carrots, cut into 3 1/2- by 1/3-inch sticks
1 1/4 cups water
1 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
2 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
1 1/2 tablespoons dill seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons salt

Steps:

  • Blanch carrots in a 4-quart nonreactive saucepan of boiling salted water 1 minute, then drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Transfer carrots to a heatproof bowl.
  • Bring remaining ingredients to a boil in saucepan, then reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes. Pour pickling liquid over carrots and cool, uncovered. Chill carrots, covered, at least 1 day for flavors to develop.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Select fresh, crisp carrots that are free of blemishes and bruises. Avoid carrots that are limp or have soft spots.
  • Cut the carrots into even-sized sticks: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to create your own unique flavor profile. Some popular spices to use include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the carrots, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the carrots until they are tender: The carrots should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: Spicy carrot sticks are best served immediately after they are cooked.

Conclusion:

Spicy carrot sticks are a healthy and delicious snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a healthy snack, give spicy carrot sticks a try. You won't be disappointed!
