Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Broccoli fresh (cut into florets)
  • 2 Carrots sliced
  • 1 Sweet Potato cubed
  • ½ Pound Baby Potatoes halved
  • 1 Cup Green Beans ends trimmed
  • 1 cup of water

Instructions
 

  • Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Cut the broccoli into florets, slice the carrots, cube the sweet potato, and halve the baby potatoes. Trim the ends off the green beans.
  • Place the metal trivet at the bottom of the Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water. This will create the steam for cooking the vegetables.
  • If you have an Instant Pot steamer basket, it’s perfect for this recipe. Arrange all the prepared vegetables evenly in the steamer basket. If you don’t have a steamer basket, you can place the vegetables directly on the trivet.
  • Broccoli, Green Beans, and Carrots: Place these in the Instant Pot first, as they have similar cooking times. Set the Instant Pot to manual high pressure for 2 minutes.
  • After the first cook cycle, quick release the pressure and add the sweet potato and baby potatoes to the pot, as they require slightly longer to cook. Adjust the Instant Pot to manual high pressure for another 4 minutes.
  • Once the pressure cooking is complete, carefully do a quick release of the pressure. Open the lid once it’s safe to do so.
  • Remove the steamer basket or use tongs to transfer the steamed veggies to a serving dish. Season with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil or melted butter. Toss gently to coat.

Notes

Fresh is Best: Pick veggies that look bright and feel firm to the touch; they’ll cook up the tastiest. However, if you don’t get fresh, you can use frozen veggies.
Color Variety: Choose different colored vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, green beans, and red peppers to make your dish pop and get a variety of nutrients.
