Sous vide is best known for producing perfectly cooked steaks, but it’s amazing for other things like vegetables, too. Enjoy perfectly cooked carrots, corn on the cob, asparagus, and so much more!
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. Get more recipes and learn this whole method in my cookbook, Sous Vide Meal Prep.
