Carrots: Scrape or Peel?

Large carrots and other vegetables such as turnips are best peeled with a regular vegetable peeler, but if you’re peeling baby vegetables, the peel is so thin that if you use a regular peeler, you’ll waste a good part of the vegetable. If you have baby carrots, just scrape them a little with the back of a knife shortly before you use them. Baby turnips can also be scraped, but since the skin is so thin, I usually leave it on.
