In general, I think sous vide veggies are underrated! Sous vide is a great way to make sure your veggies are always perfectly cooked.

I love to use sous vide to make my meal prepping routine easier (I mean, I did write a whole cookbook about it!). Most of these recipes can be prepped and then frozen before cooking, so you can have a freezer full of delicious side dishes.
