Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Peel the carrots and slice them into sticks of uniform size. Ensure the carrots are fresh and free from blemishes.

  2. In a small bowl, mix the miso paste, maple syrup, and sea salt until fully combined to create the fermentation liquid.

  3. Place the carrot sticks in a clean glass jar, leaving some space at the top.

  4. Pour the miso-maple mixture over the carrots, coating them evenly.

  5. Fill the jar with enough filtered water to completely submerge the carrots, leaving about an inch of space at the top for fermentation gases.

  6. Close the jar with a lid and store it in a cool, dark place to ferment.

  7. Check the jar daily and release any built-up gases by slightly opening the lid to prevent pressure build-up.

  8. Allow the carrots to ferment for 3 to 7 days, tasting periodically to reach your desired tanginess.

  9. Once fermented to your liking, move the jar to the refrigerator to slow fermentation.

  10. Store in the fridge for several weeks and enjoy as a side dish, garnish, or snack.
