What plant-based foods can you make in an Instant Pot?

You can make pretty much anything in an Instant Pot and while it’s not necessarily faster than cooking stovetop, I love how hands-off it is…just dump and go!

I even use it for preparing quickly cooked veggies like broccoli just because it’s less effort than dealing with various pots and pans. I love how I can have it going without having to monitor it while I prepare other items. It’s so handy!

Aside from recipes, here are some of the ways I use my Instant Pot to prepare plant-based foods:

  • Steaming vegetables. Broccoli, brussels sprouts, carrots, beets, sweet potato, potato and even greens like kale are all quick and easy to make in an Instant Pot.
  • Baking vegetables. I love baking whole squashes, potato and sweet potato in my Instant Pot. It’s so easy and perfect for food prep.
  • Roasting vegetables. You can make wonderful roast veggies like potato, sweet potato, carrot and Brussels sprouts.
  • Cooking whole grains. I frequently cook quinoa, brown rice, farro and steel-cut oats in my Instant Pot
  • Cooking beans from scratch. The Instant Pot is wonderful from cooking any and all beans from scratch. You’ll never go back to canned again!
  • Cooking lentils. Lentils are easy to make in an Instant Pot using endless flavor variations.

I searched the web high and low to find the best plant-based Instant Pot recipes and basic tutorials for you. These recipes are all:

  • gluten-free
  • vegan
  • sugar-free or refined sugar-free
  • oil-free or option to be oil-free

  1. LOVE the ease of the IP for Oats! Specifically, I made the Steel Cut version you posted (plain) so that everyone in my family could add their favorite additions afterwards! I dig that it makes so much (I doubled the recipe actually). Can’t wait to try the IP red beans and rice recipe next! Thanks so much for the all yummy things!
