Cut the broccoli into medium-sized florets with a paring knife. Rinse under running water. To prepare the stalk, slice off the bottom part and remove the outer fibrous layer. Slice the core thinly (ca. 2mm). Discard the stalk if you prefer only the florets.

Peel and cut carrot into slices of 2mm thickness. Optional: If you have extra time to spare, you can use a small cookie cutter for a fun shape.
