Prep Time

Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 4 carrots* peeled

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place a box grater on a cutting board. Pick up a carrot by its thick end, and run its tip down the large holes of the grater. Continue this downward shredding motion until about 2 inches of the carrot remain intact. Stop here to avoid cutting your fingers on the holes of the box grater.
  2. Repeat with the remaining carrots.

Notes

  • *I like to use a box grater when I'm shredding 1-4 carrots for a recipe. This method also works for larger quantities, but in those cases, you may want to use the shredding blade on a food processor to save time.
