Here's how to cook beets in the Instant Pot, so they'll turn out perfectly tender every time!
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh beets
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Remove the beet greens (save them for another use) and cut the fresh beets into 1-inch cubes.
- Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot and fit a steamer basket inside. (I use the same steamer basket I use for stove top cooking-- no need to buy specific equipment!) Pour the beets into the steamer basket then secure the lid.
- Move the steam release valve to Sealing and cook at high pressure for 12 minutes. It will take roughly 8 to 10 minutes to come to pressure, so the machine will read "ON" until then.
- When the cooking cycle is complete, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes. When the screen reads "L0:10" you can move the steam release valve to Venting to release any remaining pressure. When the floating valve in the lid drops, it's safe to open the lid.
- Test the beets with a fork, to make sure they are tender. It should pierce them very easily, without being mushy. Let the beets cool, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Use them as a salad topper, or in a smoothie for extra nutrients!
