Learn how to julienne carrots, easily and quickly! With these simple steps below, you'll learn how to cut carrots into slender sticks that are perfect for salads, sandwiches, soups, and so much more!
Julienning seems like such a difficult cutting technique, but it really isn't. Especially when you have Calphalon Precision Self-Sharpening knives to help you get the job done. I've been using these knives for a few months now, ever since I became a Calphalon Cook, and haven't had to sharpen them - not even once. There's this mechanism in the knife block that self-sharpens the knives every time you remove it from the block. It's a freaking dream!
Needless to say, I've enjoyed learning a bunch of new cutting techniques, and how to julienne is certainly one of them!
First things first, you need a nice sharp knife and a potato peeler. Skin the carrot with the peeler to rid the carrot of the top layer of skin. (like in the picture below) This ensures that the carrots are nice and smooth once they're julienned.
Cut one side of the carrot so that it lays flat against the cutting board. Slice the carrot vertically as thinly as possible.
Once the carrot is cut vertically, stack each piece on top of themselves. Then slice again into small matchsticks. (see picture below)
Besides eating the carrots, there are so many uses for julienned carrots. You can make these Sweet Potato and Pineapple Soba Noodle Vegan Bowls or use them as a topping on soups like this Cheesy Bacon Cauliflower Soup. Julienned carrots also go well on sandwiches and salads too!
