I have prepared all these recipes in my electric pressure cooker, Instant Pot DUO60 6 QT. If you have a hard time getting your family to eat their veggies, well, steaming vegetable is one of the quickest and easiest ways to get vegetable side dishes onto your plate. You can dump veggies into the Instant Pot without monitoring while the rest of the dinner is being prepared. Once done, toss them with butter and seasoning before serving. I highly recommend using Steamer basket as it prevents the veggies from soaking up too much of the water from the pot, which results in overcooked and mushy vegetables. You can also find 200+ pressure cooker recipes, including Indian rice, beans, lentils, and dessert recipes.
Why cook vegetables in the Instant Pot?
Quick: Many recipes will take you less than 10-15 minutes. Retain Nutrients: Boiling veggies like broccoli and cauliflower will result in water-soluble vitamins leaking out, which often doesn’t happen through steaming. Healthy side dish: Steamed veggies are mostly without any oil or fat, making them lower in calories, fat, or carbs. Versatile: steamed veggies go as a side dish with mains and proteins!
