Quick-Pickled Carrots with Chiles and Cumin image

An essential part of the classic holiday relish tray, pickles bring a balance of lighter and brighter flavors to heavier delights on the table like cheese and charcuterie. Make-ahead by design, these pickled carrots are tangy, crunchy, and spiced with earthy cumin and dried chiles for a zip of heat.
