Prepare the Carrots.
If you haven't bought pre-cut carrot sticks, start by washing 2-3 medium carrots thoroughly under running water. Peel the carrots with a vegetable peeler to remove the outer skin. Then, cut the carrots into sticks about 3-4 inches long and 1/2 inch thick to make approximately 1 cup (240 grams) of carrot sticks.
Tip: Use a sharp knife and a stable cutting board for safety and even cuts. -
Portion the Guacamole.
Measure out 3 tablespoons of guacamole using a tablespoon measure or a regular spoon. Place the guacamole in a small serving bowl or directly on a plate next to the carrot sticks for dipping.
Tip: If using store-bought guacamole, give it a good stir before serving to mix any separated liquids. -
Serve and Enjoy.
Arrange the carrot sticks neatly on a plate alongside the guacamole. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh crunch of the carrots with the creamy texture of the guacamole.
Tip: For extra flavor, sprinkle a little fresh lime juice or chopped cilantro over the guacamole.
Pro tips
- To keep carrot sticks crisp, store them in cold water in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Make your own guacamole by mashing ripe avocado with lime juice, salt, and diced tomatoes for a fresh taste.
