How to Sous Vide Asparagus

There is a wide range of timing to sous vide asparagus, because there are so many different sizes. Small, pencil asparagus might be tenderized in as little as 10 to 20 minutes. The larger and thicker asparagus can take upwards of 30 to 45 minutes.

Both types are almost always cooked at 183°F to 185°F (83.9°C to 85°C).

Sous Vide Asparagus with Garlic-Shallot Oil Recipe

Asparagus can be cooked many different ways, but using sous vide can remove most of the timing pressure. I especially like using sous vide on the thicker asparagus, since the lower temperature allows it to cook through without overcooking the outsides. For this recipe I like to combine the cooked asparagus with some olive oil infused with shallots and garlic then top it all off with some tarragon and lemon zest.

Sous Vide Asparagus Recipe with Dijon Mustard Vinaigrette

Sous vide asparagus is similar to blanched asparagus but ends up with a stronger flavor and slightly firmer texture. It only needs a short cooking time unless the asparagus is really thick.
