Sous Vide Spicy Lime Glazed Carrots

These sous vide spicy lime glazed carrots are one of my favorite side dishes. Zestiness from the lime juice, spice from jalapenos, and a little sweetness from honey, these are delicious and simple. Thanks to sous vide, they’re always the perfect texture!

ingredients

– 1 lb carrots, trimmed, peeled, and halved lengthwise – 1 jalapeno, ribs and seeds removed, finely chopped – 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, about 2 limes – 1 tbsp honey – 1 tbsp olive oil, extra virgin – 1/2 tsp kosher salt – 1/2 tsp garlic powder – 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper – 1/4 tsp ground cumin

Preheat water bath using immersion circulator to 185 degrees F.

Add all ingredients except cilantro to a bag of your choice and toss to combine a bit. Remove the air and seal using your method of choice, trying to keep the carrots in as flat a layer as possible.

To cook, place bag in preheated water bath and make sure the contents are completely submerged (I like to use a ceramic plate or silicone coated magnets). Cook for 1 hour.

When done sous viding, add all of the bag’s contents, including the liquid, to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until carrots have begun to brown and caramelize.
