Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beets washed, not peeled
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 ½ tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons thyme leaves fresh

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Trim the tops and bottoms off the beets.
  2. Place the trivet in the Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker insert.
  3. Pour the cup of water into the bottom of the insert.
  4. Place the beets on top of the trivet.
  5. Place the lid on the pressure cooker and place the vent in the "sealing" position.
  6. Turn the pressure cooker on Manual High Pressure for 25 minutes.
  7. When the 25 minutes are up, quick-release the vent. The beets should be fork tender.
  8. Remove the beets from the instant pot. Using a towel, paper towel, or gloved hands, gently rub the skin off of the beets. It should come right off.
  9. Turn the Instant Pot on saute mode. You'll have to set a time, so just set it to 10 minutes or higher so it doens't turn off before you're ready.
  10. Chop the beets into 1-inch pieces.
  11. Add the olive oil to the Instant Pot. Add the beets, salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar.
  12. Stir and cook until slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
