These sweet and spicy pickled carrots are simple to make. The chef Pierre Thiam pairs them with black-eyed pea fritters, but they make a great condiment for just about everything.

These are the best pickled carrots I've ever had! The vinegar mixture is perfectly balanced, and the carrots are so crispy and flavorful. I can't wait to make them again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my carrots turned out too spicy. I think next time I'll use half the amount of cayenne pepper.

I was looking for a new way to pickle carrots, and this recipe definitely delivered. The carrots are crispy and flavorful, with just the right amount of heat. I'll definitely be making these again.
