How to dice a carrot

To finish up, dicing. I find this always looks like a lot of manual work has been done but it’s really not that hard.

Diced carrot cooks a lot quicker as it’s smaller in size so can be handy if you’re in a rush, though you should never rush good food!


To start with cut the carrot julienne into sticks, then just bunch them together and slice to get a dice, the finer the julienne the smaller the dice will be.

Slicing carrots, whole, halves and quarters

Probably the most common way of cutting a carrot, slicing is a quick and easy way to prep a carrot.


Make sure your knife is nice and sharp as carrots are fairly dense. Lay the carrot flat on the chopping board and hold the large end with your hand and put the tip of the knife on the board and slice along the carrot.

For halves, simply cut it in half, for quarters cut a half in half.

You can also cut them at a 45° angle for a slightly fancier effect.
