What to Do
- Cut carrots and parsnips into 1/4-inch by 2-inch strips.

Notes
Carrots are available year-round and are a great source of vitamin A. Look for firm, smooth carrots with a deep orange color-avoid those with cracks. Generally, 1 pound of carrots equals about 3 cups chopped or sliced, or about 2-1/2 cups shredded.
