Tips

Cut the carrots to the height of the jar you are using.Your jar may not hold 8 carrots as listed in the recipe. Cut as many as you can squeeze into the jar.Double, or triple this recipe! They don’t last long in our house.I lay mine on its side in the refrigerator and rotate it occasionally.  You can try using baby carrots but they will take longer to marinate because they are thicker in size.You can add more carrots to the marinated as you eat them but they will not have as strong of a flavor.  I try this all the time and am always disappointed.

How to Make Raw Marinated Carrots

Peel and wash raw carrots, and trim the ends off. Cut carrots into sticks. Place them in the jar.  I just cut as many carrots as will fit in the particular jar I’m using. Add the white vinegar, vegetable oil, garlic powder, seasoned salt, salt, and fresh parsley. Place the lid on and give them a good shake to mix the seasonings. Refrigerate. The carrots take several hours to 24 hours to marinate. You can leave the pickled carrots at room temperature but they will not be as crisp and crunchy. I usually can’t keep my hands out of the jar and end up making them over and over.
