Orange-Ginger Pickled Baby Carrots image

Crisp pickled vegetables go brilliantly with cocktails (or with sandwiches, a hunk of cheese, a juicy steak...the possibilities are endless). Fresh ginger and dried chiles give them a bracing boost and orange juice plays up their natural sweetness.

These pickled carrots were a waste of time. They were bland and unappetizing.

I found the recipe to be a bit confusing. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my carrots didn't turn out as expected.

The carrots were a little too crunchy for my liking. I would parboil them for a few minutes before pickling them next time.

These pickled carrots were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These pickled carrots are the perfect addition to any charcuterie board. They're also great on tacos or sandwiches.

I love the sweet and tangy flavor of these carrots. I've made them several times and they're always a hit at parties.

Easy to make and delicious! I used a combination of baby carrots and daikon radishes, and they both turned out great.

These pickled carrots were a delightful surprise! The orange and ginger flavors were perfectly balanced, and the carrots retained a nice crunch. I served them as a side with grilled chicken and they were a hit.
