Clean the sardines by removing the heads and guts, then rinse under cold water.

Pat the sardines dry with paper towels and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in bay leaves, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Carefully add the sardines to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove sardines from the skillet and place them on a plate.

In the same skillet, add sliced onions and carrots, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add vinegar, stirring to deglaze the pan, then return the sardines to the skillet.

Sprinkle with paprika, thyme, and oregano, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before transferring to a jar.

Pour remaining oil over the sardines, ensuring they are fully submerged.

Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.
