Making Heart Shaped Carrots

Heart shaped carrots are a fun addition to any recipe calling for sliced carrots. Here is how to make them:

Peel and wash the carrot. Then using a knife, slice a "v" shape out of the full length of the carrot. Remove the middle piece.

Using a potato peeler, begin shaping the heart by shaving the outside of the carrot, until it looks like a heart when looking down the length of the carrot.

Now slice the carrot, but not too thin, to avoid them falling apart when cooked.
