Perfect Sous Vide Asparagus — Tips to Nail Texture Every Time!

Hey Food Nerds! :waving_hand:

I recently tried sous vide asparagus and got perfectly tender but still crisp results using my Anova Precision® Cooker. :seedling:

How I did it:

  • Set temp to 85 °C (185 °F)

  • Cooked for 15–20 minutes

  • Seasoned with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon after cooking

The texture came out amazingly consistent — no mushiness, just crisp and vibrant stalks! :heart_eyes: I finished them off with a quick sear in a hot pan for extra char.

Would love to hear how others are cooking veggies sous vide — temps/times, seasonings, or your favorite finishing touches! :fork_and_knife_with_plate:

That sounds fantastic 85 °C is a great call for keeping them tender but not mushy. I like finishing with a quick sear too, or sometimes a broiler blast with garlic and chili flakes for extra punch
