How to Use Carrot Curler Garnish Tool Or Carrot Curler
A carrot curler is a great garnish tool to make flowers from a carrot peel! We can make flowers from some other vegetables as well. Check out 3 methods with step-by-step photos and video below. I can’t make a ribbon so thin and fine with a knife as it comes out from the tool. So nice to have for a last-minute garnish touch to salads, appetizers, bouquet salads, or other dishes. So many brands making this tool but I featured what I use personally and sharing it with you.
On the bottom of the page, I have an example of a similar tool, I use for other garnishes. The ribbon comes out thinner than from NorPro and the flowers look different.
1.How to Make Carrot Flowers With NorPro Carrot Curler
Wash and peel the carrot before use curler. The best way to make flowers just before serve. If you would like to make carrot flowers in advance, keep carrot flowers in slightly salty water in the refrigerator. It does not work for parsnips because parsnips change the structure in water. Parsnip flowers so pretty but we definatelly need to make then just before serve.
Technique Flower N1:
- Place the peeled carrot inside the curler and rotate clockwise as sharpening a pencil. Keep your end of the ribbon on the surface, so it won’t brake. The ribbon comes out so thin and beautiful.
2. Roll the ribbon in shape of the flower and serve!
I used carrot flowers in my bouquet salad, we can also use these flowers to decorate so many different dishes and vegetable platters as well.

1. Make cuts with the crinkled or wavy blade of carrot curler like on the photo.
2. Continue like with technique N1. These flowers also are very beautiful!
Technique Flower or Curls N3:
To make interesting curls or simple other flowers, make the cut around the carrot half way like on the photo. The ribbon will be separate in 2 ribbons. I like to use this technique more for curls to add to salad than for flowers.

I have another carrot curler, I bought it at the local store last year. The curler from Joie company. I just show an example, how I make the flower with it. It is created not fine flower like NorPro curler. The ribbon comes out thicker as you can see in the photo. I use it to make cucumber flower sometimes.
