What is the best shape carrot for making glazed carrots?
When making glazed carrots it is best to prepare medium to bite sized carrots. Carrots can be sliced in small spears, cut oblong or oval or if using baby carrots there is no need to cut the carrots at all.
Sometimes when I want to make a fancy cut carrot I like using this wavy crinkle cutter (works great for potatoes too). Other times I’ll just slice’em! But I do like slicing my carrots with an angle cut like the photo below. But whatever you do be sure to peel the carrots before slicing and discarding both ends.
