Things You'll Need

Instructions
-
Wash and dry a whole carrot.
-
Run a vegetable peeler down the sides of the carrot to remove the peel, and trim the end.
-
Set the carrot on a cutting board with the widest end of the carrot facing you. Hold the carrot in place with one hand on top of the carrot.
-
Insert the knife in the carrot, directing the knife toward you. Cut at an angle, making a V shape, an inch from the end. Do not cut all the way through the carrot.

Make a quarter turn. Make another cut in carrot at the same angle.
