Wash and peel the carrot , then cut off either end of the carrot .

Take the prepared carrot and carefully , using a knife , cut a line down the carrot from one end to the other , at a slight angle in ways , about 1-2mm depth , then carefully cut another line down the carrot , at an angle to meet your first cut , about 1mm from your first line cut and carefully take the strip you just cut out .

Turn the carrot over and repeat what you just did before but to this side of the carrot , and remove the cut out piece . Turn the carrot till you get to the between your two previous cuts and proceed to cut a third line strip from the carrot , now finally turning the carrot over again to bring the final quarter of the carrot and proceed to cut a line strip piece out .

Once you have cut all four strips from the carrot , proceed to cut the carrot into rounds , size depending on your preference and proceed to cook to your liking or preference , i boiled mine with a teaspoon of sugar to just tender , drained and serve hot or cold , the choice is yours to how you prepare and eat them . Enjoy . :-) .
