Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your sous vide machine to 183°F (84°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the carrots, honey, melted butter, salt, pepper, and thyme leaves. Toss well to coat the carrots evenly.
- Place the seasoned carrots into a vacuum-seal bag or a resealable freezer bag. If using a freezer bag, remove as much air as possible by using the water displacement method.
- Submerge the bagged carrots into the preheated water bath and cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- Once the time is up, carefully remove the bag from the water bath. Open the bag and transfer the carrots to a serving dish.
- Pour any remaining honey butter sauce from the bag over the carrots for extra flavor.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
Helpful Tips
- If you’re new to sous vide cooking, start with thicker carrots to prevent overcooking.
- For a bit of kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the honey glaze.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover carrots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or on the stovetop with a bit of butter.
Ingredient Substitutions
If fresh thyme is unavailable, dried thyme can be used in half the quantity. Maple syrup or agave nectar can substitute honey for vegan options.
Pairings
These honey glazed carrots pair beautifully with roasted chicken, grilled fish, or a hearty vegetable stew. Complement the meal with a fresh green salad and a glass of crisp white wine or sparkling cider.
