Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

A julienne (also called a "matchstick") is a type of cut that makes a long thin strip.

-A chef's knife is good to use (or a santoku knife) and avoid serrated knives, which "saw" through food.
-Peel the skin from the vegetable if necessary.
-Trim away any root or stem parts of the vegetable.
-If the vegetable is round like a potato or carrot, cut it in half and lay it cut side down on the board. This will keep it from rolling.
-Cut the edible part of the vegetable into slices about 1/4-inch thick. Cut around the seeds if necessary.
-Cut these slices into even strips 1/4-inch thick.

Answer 6

Very carefully cut your carrots into matchstick sized pieces.

Answer 7

Take a large carrot, scrape it, slice all four sizes even so that it looks like a rectangle. Then slice lenghtwise even slices. Lay a slice flat and slice with your knife kwarter inch slices, they should resemble a small version of the french fry. I hope that answers your question.
