Everyone loves carrots, right?!  I am not lying when I say that carrots are in my fridge 365 days a year – we eat nearly 2lbs of baby carrots a week at my house!  My youngest son is super obsessed & has been known to eat carrots for breakfast, lunch AND dinner!  But I’ll admit, I get burnt out easily on raw baby carrots.  I’m not a fan of dousing my veggies in ranch dip or cheese to make them more appealing, either.  In an effort to entice myself to eat more veggies, specifically carrots, I started experimenting with marinating carrots to get that tangy & sweet pickle effect.  I perfected this recipe with the help of my dear friend Chef Concetta.  We hope you enjoy it!  It’s easy & if you like dill… you are going to LOVE my Pickled Carrots!
