4 Simple Sous-Vide Sides Perfect for Beginners

Slow Cook and Hold Oven

It's natural to feel intimidated when you try something new. That holds true for sous-vide cooking. 

In an effort to help you ease into things, we've prepared a list of four simple sous-vide sides that are simple to prepare and downright delicious.

4 Simple Sous-Vide Sides Perfect for Beginners

Sweet, Tender Fennel

We've observed that fennel is often overlooked in American kitchens. Since fennel is a fall/winter vegetable, now is as good a time as any to give it a try. By using the sous-vide technique, you can prepare fennel that is mellow and sweet.

Sous-Vide Poached Egg Salad with Leeks and Mustard Vinaigrette

The title of this recipe is a bit misleading. Think less of spreadable egg salad often served on crackers or found between slices of toasted bread. Think instead of a savory leek and radish mix with a perfectly poached egg on top. Delightful. 

Sous-Vide Browned Butter Lemon Asparagus 

Depending on your personal preference, you can either peel the asparagus ahead of time or leave them as they are. Either way, fifteen minutes in the water bath, and this dish is ready to plate and serve immediately.

Sous-Vide Glazed Carrots

If you can only choose one item on this list, this recipe for glazed carrots is our top pick. We say this not only because it's so user friendly but because it comes with such high praise. 

There are some vegetables for which sous-vide cooking can't be beat. Carrots top that list. When cooked in a sealed bag with a little bit of butter, sugar, and salt, the natural flavor of the carrot intensifies into a sweeter, stronger, and downright tastier version of itself.
