Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables: Peel and slice the carrots into thin strips. Shred the cabbage and set aside.
Char the Carrots: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the carrot strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.
