How to Carve Carrot Flowers?



Not as difficult a feat as it sounds; making carrot flowers is actually very easy and can be easily prepared at home in very less time too. Besides garnishing dishes, carrot flowers can also be used as a part of vegetable salads. But then, how to carve carrot flowers?



1. Take a washed and dried carrot.



2. Peel the carrot’s outer skin and cut its edges.



3. Place the carrot on a cutting board such that the vegetable’s wider part faces you.



4. Without cutting the whole carrot, make a V-like slice on the carrot towards you with a knife.



5. Turn the knife a quarter from where you made the first slice and make a similar V-like shape.



6. Keep repeating this till you have made V shaped slices on almost every side of the vegetable.



7. Hold the narrow tip of the carrot and twist and turn the carrot slightly. A spiraling flower shaped carrot flower is ready for you.
