Equipment

  • InstantPot
  • Steamer Basket
  • Steam Rack
  • Vegetable peeler

Materials

  • 4-5 fresh beets roughly the same size
  • 3 cups water

Instructions

  • Trim the greens off of the beets and thoroughly wash to remove all traces of soil. No need to peel before cooking, the skin will come off easily once cooked.
  • Place steaming rack and steamer basket into instant pot and add beets on top.
  • Add water to the InstantPot, making sure the water is not high enough to come in contact with the beets.
  • Pressure cook on high for 30 mins. Quick release once finished cooking.
  • Check to see if the beets are tender by inserting a toothpick into the middle. It should insert easily.
  • Wait until the beets are cooled before removing the skin with a vegetable peeler.
  • Chop up as desired and add to your favourite salads, smoothies, or enjoy as a side dish!
