Step 1:

Place vegetable on chopping board

Place your vegetable onto the chopping board. Any hard vegetable is good for shredding.

---

Step 2:

Cut through root

Take a sharp knife. Make sure the knife is larger than the vegetable you are cutting, and cut through the root.

---

Step 3:

Cut in half

Place your fingers underneath the vegetable then run the knife through it in one motion to break it in half.

---

Step 4:

Cut into Quarters

With the flat side face down, cut it in half again so the vegetable is in quarters.

---

Step 5:

Remove Root

Remove the root - the woody bit of the vegetable, and discard. If you don't want to waste anything, you can use the root in a soup or broth.

Step 6:

Cut Into

Making sure your knife is sharp and your fingers are tucked in, cut the vegetable into very thin slices.

Using your fingers, break up the pieces into shreds.
