Beets

I mostly use my sous vide to cook meats. But on occasion I have cooked vegetables. Lately I have been cooking beets sous vide which results in tender, juicy, flavorful beets.

Tools

  • Sous vide cooker: this is essential, my cooker looks like a crock pot, but any kind will work
  • Zip-top bags: name-brand will be better; off-brand may leak which results in less-flavorful beets
  • Large bowl: for driving out the air from the zip-top bags

Ingredients

  • Beets (red, yellow, or otherwise)
  • Water
  • Mild-flavored oil (optional): I use a refined coconut oil which is liquid at room temperature
