Perfect Sous Vide Broccoli {Tender and Nutritious!}

Step 1

Fill a large container or pot with water. Attach the sous vide precision cooker and set the temperature to 180ºF/82ºC.

Step 2

Clean the broccoli thoroughly. Cut the stalk away from the crown, and then slice the florets into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

Peel the skin of the stalk, and cut it into thin slices.

Step 4

Add them into a zip-lock bag, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Seal the bag using the “water displacement” technique: seal all but one corner of the bag and slowly place it in the water bath. Make sure everything below the zip-line is covered by water. Then seal the rest of the bag. (Use a vacuum sealer if you have one.)

Step 6

Clip a heavy spoon to the edge of the bag to weigh the bag down. Or use a heavy kitchen item to keep the broccoli completely submerged in the water. (Make sure the seams are above the water).

Step 7

Cook for 15 minutes.

Step 8

When the timer goes off, take the bag out and remove the broccoli from the bag.

Step 9

Sprinkle with salt and pepper, or your preferred toppings. Serve warmly and enjoy!
