Today, I’m excited to share my go-to recipe for “Instant Pot Homestyle Vegetables” – a simple yet incredibly satisfying dish that’s perfect for busy weeknights or any occasion.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This recipe is a true testament to the beauty of simplicity. Just a handful of fresh ingredients, a splash of water, and a little help from your Instant Pot, and you’ll have a vibrant and flavorful vegetable medley ready to elevate any meal.

“I often find myself reaching for this recipe when I need a quick and healthy side dish,” says [Name], a seasoned home cook and food blogger at [Website name]. “The Instant Pot does all the work, and the result is perfectly cooked vegetables every time.”

Gathering Your Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create this delicious and effortless side dish:

  • 1 cup water or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 lb whole peeled carrots, cut into large pieces
  • 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 1/2 lbs red potatoes, cut in half (or use baby potatoes)

Pro Tip: Feel free to customize the vegetables to your liking. Other delicious additions include broccoli florets, cauliflower, or even a handful of chopped bell peppers for added color and flavor.

Let’s Get Cooking!

  1. Pour the water or vegetable broth into the bottom of your Instant Pot.
  2. Place a steamer basket inside the Instant Pot.
  3. Fill the steamer basket with the prepared potatoes, carrots, and green beans. I like to layer the potatoes at the bottom.
  4. Cover the Instant Pot and secure the lid, ensuring the valve is set to “sealing.”
  5. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 5 minutes.
  6. When the timer beeps, allow the pot to sit for an additional 5 minutes for softer vegetables. If you prefer them a little firmer, perform a quick release.
  7. Move the valve to the venting position to release any remaining pressure.
  8. Open the pot, and your delicious homestyle vegetables are ready to serve!

  • These vegetables pair beautifully with roasted chicken, grilled fish, or a hearty beef stew.
