A simple vegetable peeler turns carrots into beautifully thin strips in this healthy vegetable side dish recipe. If you have a spiralizer, you can go for an artful tangle instead. Serve with miso-glazed fish or tofu.

3-5 large carrots (about 12 ounces)
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted (dark) sesame oil
1 teaspoon honey
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
3 scallions, sliced
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, make long, thin strips of carrot until you have about 8 cups of carrot ribbons.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
