The batonnet (bah-toh-NAY) starts as a rectangular cut that’s also used for the julienne. It’s commonly used for foods like French fries. This cut generates a much thicker, squared-rectangular shape. The exact batonnet measurements are ¼-inch by ¼-inch by 2 ½ inches.

In addition to French fries, the batonnet is an optimal cut for lavish veggie platters and stir-fries. It is also one of the most popular cuts when it comes to presentation, as it’s slightly more durable and easier to handle than the classic julienne cut.
