Citrus Honey Sous Vide Carrots
Have you joined the sous vide party yet? If you haven’t, now’s the time. It’s never been easier to get started. Learning to use the sous vide cooking method reveals a new horizon of exciting recipes and a robust community of home sous vide enthusiasts.
You’ll be surprised by how easy it is. For this sous vide carrots recipe, all you do is fill and seal the bag, then let it cook in a virtually hands-off process. Voilà! Delicious carrots that go perfectly with all your favorite main dishes.
My sous vide system consists of an immersion circulator that clips on to my Dutch oven, plusFoodSaver® Sous-vide Vacuum Seal Bags and aFoodSaver® FM2000 Vacuum Sealing System.FoodSaver® products are available in-store or online at Target, where you can save 15% off both products during the month of July.
If you are unfamiliar with sous vide cookery, the first thing you should know is thatsous-videisFrench for “under vacuum.”Sous vide bags, like the FoodSaver® Sous-vide Vacuum Seal Bags, are completely airtight. The lack of air prevents the sous vide bags from floating during the cooking process, which is important for consistent cooking results.
You’ll want to stock up on good quality sous vide bags like these, because their multi-layered construction resists punctures. Using the FM2000 system with these sous vide bags provides a powerful heat-seal.
Once you’ve sealed a bag, you can put it the freezer for later—and then, when you’re ready, it can go straight from the freezer to a hot water bath. No defrosting required!
In addition to being freezer safe, they’re also suitable for the microwave and fridge, and are available in a variety of sizes. That gives you the flexibility to cook as many or as few sous vide carrots (or any other food) as you wish.
Look for FoodSaver® Sous-vide Vacuum Seal Bags and the FM2000 system in-store or online at Target.

Remove the bag with tongs. Carefully cut open the bag (watch out for steam) and drain the carrots completely in a colander. Serve carrots immediately.

Recipe Notes
The drained cooking liquid is not suitable for reducing as a sauce; it is high in salt (more like a brine than a sauce), and because of this it's too salty to use as additional sauce for serving. I know this because I already tried it so you didn't have to. 🙂
