Instructions
Method 1:
- Cut the ends off the beets, and then peel them using a potato peeler.
- Cut the beets into quarters.
- Add the trivet and water to the Instant Pot and place the beets on top.
- Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes, and then do a quick pressure release. The beet juice left in the Instant Pot can be cooled and drank or saved to add to soups etc.
Method 2:
- Scrub the beets and trim the tails.
- Add the trivet and water to the Instant Pot and place the beets on top.
- Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes, then do a quick release once the countdown has finished.
- The skins should come off easily by rubbing the beets with a piece of paper towel.
Notes
- Both methods for cooking beets work best if they're all around the same size.
- The cooking time suggestions are for beets that are around 2" in diameter. My beets were fairly soft at the time indicated. If you want tender-crisp, reduce cooking time. Larger beets will need approx. 25-30 minutes, and smaller ones 10-15 minutes.
- Cooked beets will keep in the fridge for about a week or so.
- Inactive time in the recipe represents the time it'll take the Instant Pot to build pressure.
- I use this 6-quart Instant Pot.
