Step-by-step

Prep Carrots for Sous Vide
Scrub carrots under cold running water and dry completely — surface moisture prevents a good vacuum seal. Leave small to medium carrots whole or halved lengthwise; cut large carrots into roughly 1-inch lengthwise pieces for even cooking. Keep sizing uniform so everything finishes at the same rate. Arrange in a single layer in a vacuum bag, add any butter, seasonings, or honey now, then seal. If liquid is present, stop the sealer early before it pulls liquid into the machine. Weigh the bag down in the water bath if any air remains so it stays fully submerged.

Sous Vide Carrots: Water Bath Setup
Set your immersion circulator to 183–185°F and let the water fully come to temperature before adding anything. Submerge your sealed bag of carrots completely — weigh it down with a plate or clip if it floats. Check the bag after a few minutes and reposition if air pockets have shifted the carrots. Cook for 60 minutes for 1-inch pieces; 45 minutes for smaller cuts, up to 90 minutes for large whole carrots. No stirring or adjusting needed — just let the bath run its course.

Finishing & Serving Sous Vide Carrots
When the timer ends, remove the bag and test doneness: carrots should bend easily when pressed or lifted. If still firm, reseal and return to the bath for 10–15 more minutes. Two finish options: • Simple: transfer carrots to a serving dish and spoon bag juices over the top. • Glazed: place carrots in an oven-safe dish with a few tablespoons of bag liquid, broil 4 inches from heat for 2 minutes, toss, then broil 1 more minute. Store cooked carrots in the sealed bag in the fridge for up to 1 week.
