There are a few different ways to easily shred carrots. Whichever way you choose, first wash your carrots well and use a peeler to remove the skin. Box Grater: place the grater on a flat cutting board and scrape the carrot against the large holes in a downward motion. Be sure to stop when a few inches are left so you don’t cut your fingers! Food Processor: set up your food processor with the shredding blade and turn it on high. Make sure to trim the ends off your carrots before feeding them through the machine. This method is great when you need to shred a lot of carrots! Julienne Peeler: once you’ve peeled your carrots, switch to a julienne peeler to create long thin shreds. You could also continue using a regular peeler to make carrot ribbons.
