Glazed Sous Vide Carrots

Glazed Sous Vide Carrots
This post is sponsored by Everywhere Agency on behalf of FoodSaver®; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. Josh and I have been on a big sous vide kick lately. Sous vide cooking adds so much flavor to your food. It's also incredibly easy to do, once you get the hang of it. I have been trying to pack our meals this summer with nutritious fruits and veggies. While I like carrots, I have never loved them. They just seemed like a meh vegetable to me compared to the incredible flavors of peppers, onions, mushrooms, and brussels sprouts. Josh loves carrots, and assured me that if I tried them cooked sous vide style, I'd be singing a different tune. We spent a Saturday making sous vide carrots together, and sure enough, it was unlike any other carrot I've tasted. As Josh puts it, "it's like eating a carrot stuffed with carrot." Flavorful, juicy, and crisp. I am officially a fan. Glazed Sous Vide Carrots Recipe - Her Heartland Soul

Glazed Sous Vide Carrots Recipe - Her Heartland Soul Before you start sous vide cooking, it's important you have the right ingredients. Josh and I use this sous vide cooker and FoodSaver® Sous-vide Vacuum Seal Bags and FM2000 Vacuum Sealing System. It's important to use bags and a sealing system that creates an airtight seal to provide maximum flavor, and consistency while cooking. Glazed Sous Vide Carrots Recipe - Her Heartland Soul The FoodSaver system is top of the line. I love it because we can prep food in bulk, throw the extras in the freezer, and then immediately move food from the freezer to the sous vide hot water bath when we're ready to cook. There's no defrost required and the bags are incredibly durable. They're microwave, fridge, and freezer safe, and come in a wide variety of sizes. The entire FoodSaver line is on sale for 15% off at Target this month. You can't go wrong. Glazed Sous Vide Carrots Recipe - Her Heartland Soul Glazed Sous Vide Carrots Recipe - Her Heartland Soul
