juliennes
Carrot cutting style
Juliennes are vegetables or other foods cut into thin, matchstick-shaped strips.
The technique produces uniform pieces that cook evenly and present elegantly: a salad garnished with juliennes of carrot and cucumber.
As a verb, to julienne is to cut food this way: Julienne the peppers before stir-frying.
