How to cut vegetables accordion-style

Cut a thin strip from one side of the vegetable for stability.

Place the vegetable, cut side down, between the handles of two wooden spoons.

Using a sharp knife, make crosswise cuts (0.3 - 0.5 cm thick), stopping when the knife hits the handles of wooden spoons so that you do not cut all the way through the vegetable.
