Instructions

Step 1

Use your vegetable peeler to peel the outer layer of carrot skin (business as usual).

Step 2

Discard the initial first layer peel (normal stuff).

Step 3

Rinse your peeler and continue to use it to make ribbons out of your carrots.

Step 4

I turned the carrot because if you peel just one plane, the width of the ribbons will be very thick. If you turn the carrot as you peel, the width will be thinner and more varied.

Step 5

If you like raw carrots and want a raw salad, keep them as is and plate them.

Step 6

If you want to soften them, place the ribbons in a pan over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoons of avocado oil tossing frequently for 5 minutes.

Step 7

Cook for about 5 minutes, tossing frequently.

Step 8

Whisk together the peanut butter, tamari, water, agave, and sesame oil. Add another tablespoon if needed to make it more drizzly.

Step 9

Plate the ribbons and drizzle with the peanut sauce.

Step 10

Top with chopped scallions, chopped peanuts, and sesame seeds!
