How to Batonnet Cut your Carrots:
Batonnet cut is just simply cutting a vegetable into large sticks. The best way to do this is to peel your carrot. Then, cut your carrot into 3 sections. Next, cut off the rounded edges. Last cut into 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch rectangular prisms or sticks.
Substitutions:
Less Sugar- You can do 1 tbsp of brown sugar or substitute the sugar for maple syrup or monk fruit sugar for a healthier substitute.
Baby Carrots- If you don’t have whole carrots, you can use baby carrots. If you use baby carrots, cut them in half so they cook well and are tender.
Different Cheese- If you aren’t a fan of goat cheese, you can substitute the goat cheese for brie cheese or omit the cheese all together. If you swap for brie, it is a 1:1 swap.
