Sous Vide Parsnips with Thyme and Nutmeg

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sous Vide Parsnips with Thyme and Nutmeg.

1. Step 1

   To start your sous vide adventure, set up your equipment by placing a heat-resistant pad beneath a large pot filled with water.

2. Step 2

   Attach your sous vide precision cooker and dial the temperature to a cozy 195°F (95°C).

3. Step 3

   Don’t forget to set the timer for 30 minutes to ensure everything cooks perfectly.

4. Step 4

   While the water heats up, let’s prepare those parsnips.

5. Step 5

   Trim the ends off each parsnip and give them a good peel.

6. Step 6

   From the smaller end of each parsnip, cut a 2-inch piece, then slice the remaining parsnips into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.

7. Step 7

   Place these lovely parsnip pieces in a resealable bag, making sure they lay flat and don’t overlap.

8. Step 8

   Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and drizzle some olive oil over them for added flavor.

9. Step 9

   Now, it’s time to remove the air from the bag.

10. Step 10

    You can do this using the water immersion method or a vacuum sealer—whichever you prefer.

11. Step 11

    Once your water reaches that perfect 195°F (95°C), gently submerge the bag into the pot and let the magic happen.

12. Step 12

    After about 10 minutes, melt some butter in a small skillet over low heat.

13. Step 13

    Toss in a few sprigs of fresh thyme and let them simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the butter to soak up all that aromatic goodness.

14. Step 14

    When the sous vide timer goes off, carefully take the bag out of the pot and remove the parsnips.

15. Step 15

    Discard the thyme sprigs from your skillet, then season the melted butter with a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg for a warm, inviting flavor.

16. Step 16

    Turn up the heat to medium-high and add the parsnips to the skillet.

17. Step 17

    Sauté them for 2 to 3 minutes until they’re beautifully browned and irresistible.
