Apple Wing

Take your apples to new heights! Create these apple wings by cutting your apple into six equal wedges, slicing lengthwise through the core. Start by making two small perpendicular cuts through each wedge that meet at a 90-degree angle. Continue to cut right angles into the wedge, making smaller wedges moving upwards. Fan the pieces into a wing.

Apple Wing

Chef Wallace Pro Tip: As you get the hang of this technique, you'll be able to make even more smaller layers. The more layers you do the more mesmerizing the wings look!

Avocado Rose

A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but will it come packed with healthy fats? To create this delicate avocado flower, scoop out half of an avocado, leaving the half intact. Thinly slice the entire half widthwise and fan the pieces out into one long line. Then, roll it into a rose. Imagine the possibilities for your avocado toast!
