How to make Brussels sprouts in Instant Pot?
First, start by cutting off the ends of the Brussels sprouts. Go ahead and peel away any loose leaves, if needed.
Next, cut them into halves and give the sprouts a quick wash.
Now, mince the garlic. Put the liner into the Instant Pot and pour the water into the liner. Now add the steamer basket.
Then, place the Brussels sprouts into the basket with the garlic. You can sprinkle in the salt and pepper now or do it at the end.
If you don’t have a steamer basket, you can add place the veggies into the water. It won’t hurt anything.
After that, place the lid onto the machine, close the valve, and set the cooker to pressure cook on high for 2 minutes.
Once the timer goes off, carefully open the valve (with a kitchen towel) to allow for a quick release.
Afterward, remove the sprouts, remove the steamer basket, and drain away all the water.
Return the Brussels sprouts back to the liner and stir in the butter. If you haven’t added the salt and pepper, do a taste test and add it now.
That’s it, your Instant Pot Brussel sprouts recipe is done. Serve them while they’re hot!
