How to Sous Vide Carrot

When I sous vide carrots I usually peel them and then either cook them whole, slice them into rounds, or cube them. Regardless of the shape, I place the carrots in the sous vide bag in an even layer about 1/2" to 1" thick to help it cook evenly. I usually cook carrots for 45 to 60 minutes at 183°F to 185°F (83.9°C to 85°C) to fully tenderize them, though you can go shorter if you are using more tender carrots, or want a more crispy final dish.

Sous vide carrots are easy to glaze when butter and sugar is added to the pouch before they are cooked, then they are briefly pan fried after cooking.

Using sous vide to butter poach root vegetables is an easy process that makes creating side dishes a breeze! Just toss some chopped vegetables into a sous vide bag with some butter, thyme, and cumin, then give them a quick cook at 183°F (83.9°C).

Spicy Rosemary Sous Vide Pickled Carrots Recipe

This sous vide pickling recipe uses a higher temperature to soften up the vegetables. It works great with carrots, green beans, and other tougher vegetables. The timing varies based on the vegetable, but following the general guidelines in the Cooking by Tenderness article will help give you an idea. Personally, I usually go a little shorter so the vegetables have more crunch to them. You can also mix up the spices and herbs to create your own flavor profiles.
