Start by washing and trimming your veggies. If you’re working with root vegetables like carrots or beets, peel them first. For the classic julienne, chop your veggies into 2-inch chunks. Square off the sides so they’re easier to handle, then slice into thin planks about 1/8 inch thick. Stack those planks and cut again into skinny matchsticks. Super satisfying! If you want to save time, try the angled method. Slice your cylindrical veggies at a steep angle, making long, thin slabs. Lay those flat and cut into matchsticks. This way, you skip squaring off the sides, and your sticks come out a bit longer. Both techniques make salads and stir-fries look extra fancy, and it’s honestly easier than it looks. #kitchenhacks #julienne #vegetableprep #Food #Cooking
