As soon as I saw this recipe on Tasty Kitchen I knew I had to make it! Pickled spicy veggies are right up my alley!

They were easy to make and super tasty!!

What you need,

2 whole jalapenos, sliced

1 whole red pepper, sliced
½ cup carrots, sliced
2 stalks celery, sliced
1/2 head cauliflower, cut into small pieces

¼ cup salt
1 quart water
¼ tsp garlic powder
3 tsp oregano, dried
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
¼ tsp celery salt
½ tsp black pepper
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup white vinegar

Start by chopping all your veggies and put them in a large bowl.

Add ¼ cup of salt and add enough water to cover all the veggies, about 1 quart.
Allow the veggies to soak in the brine for 8-12 hours.

Drain and rinse the veggies. In a small bowl combine the garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, celery seed, pepper, oil and vinegar. Spoon the veggies into a large mason jar, pour the spice mixture over the veggies and screw the lid on tightly. Shake until all the veggies are coated. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours.

After a day or 2 they are ready to eat. They are crunchy and spicy and perfect!

I love them!!

They go great with everything, or just eat them right out of the jar, like I did!
