For a sweeter flavor, consider using a touch more sugar, adjusting to your personal preference. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables, such as celery or red bell pepper, to customize the recipe. If you prefer a less tangy flavor, you can reduce the amount of white vinegar slightly. These marinated carrots can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For a bolder flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
