I’m on a mission to cook every vegetable in my kitchen in the Instant Pot. Well, every starchy, root veggie at least- I don’t see a reason for putting cucumber in it 😂

When I cooked beets in the Instant Pot for the first time, I was transformed. It was so easy! So quick! And after I quartered the cooked beets, the skins slid right off. Heaven. It seems so much easier than peeling and pre-cutting every chunk and roasting them for an hour in the oven. Plus, it’s easier to avoid oil with the Instant Pot- just add water! (Though, when I roasted them in the oven, I’d put them in a covered dish and add water instead of oiling a pan.)
