How to dice a carrot - A photo tour

Filed under: Kitchen skills — Nicky @ 3:20 pm

Every wonder how to dice a carrot into perfect little cubes.  It’s not too hard to do, if you follow these simple steps.

Step 1 - Cut the carrot and half across the middle.

 

 

 

 Step 2 - Cut the halves in half again (lengthwise).  This will make it so the carrot is more stable in the next step.

 

 

 

Step 3 - Flip the cut carrot halves over, the cut side should be facing the board.  Cut the four pieces into three or four pieces each.  You should have 12 to 16 sticks of carrot after this step.

 

 

 This is what your carrot sticks should look like.

 

 

 

 

Step 4 - Line the sticks up together and cut across them to create a nice dice.  Your carrot dices should be all relatively the same size.

 

 

 

There you have it, nice little cubes of carrot.  You can make the cubes larger or smaller depending on what you are using them for.
