How to Cut and Choose Your Carrots

As far as what type of carrots to use for this recipe, any type will work. I like to use whole carrots but you can also use baby carrots and even multi-colored carrots.

If using whole carrots, you’ll want to cut the ends off first. Then, slice them at an angle into 1-2 inch pieces. Slicing them at an angle makes them look more fancy 🙂
