In today’s “How-to Tuesday” series, I’m going to show you how to grate carrots with a food processor using the super-handy grater attachment (every food processor comes with one – not something extra you have to buy) just in time for summer slaws and salads. If you haven’t opened up the food processor you got as a wedding gift 5 years ago (yes, I’m looking at you), let this how-to tip be your motivation to dig it out of storage. It’s so easy to use that it feels like magic, and every kitchen could use some magic, right?
After grating carrots, use it in our shrimp vermicelli bowls or fish tacos with cabbage slaw. Both are great recipes to brighten up summertime eating.

I love this, and here's why -- for YEARS I had a food processor just sitting there and grated my carrots on the cheese grater. And then one day it hit me that I didn't have to make life so hard. Best realization in the kitchen for a long time! Thank you for showing others how easy it is :)
Thx Tiffany! It is the most amazing thing. I use it for potatoes when I'm making latkes, jicama, papaya, and cabbage for salads, and of course, cheese. I barely even use my cheese grater anymore.
Cheese! How did I never think of that?! My life will never be the same...
I'm looking to "grate" my carrots, not shred--- you used the shredder attachment. There's a grater attachment which is really what I'm looking for :-(
what you showed is shredded not grated, but thanks any way.
Could you use it in carrot cake?
