Save time and money by making Instant Pot broccoli part of your weekly dinner rotation. It’s so easy to whip up this tender broccoli for a fast and healthy side dish.
Pour 1 cup of water in the Instant Pot insert. Place a steamer basket or trivet in the insert.
1 cup water
Place broccoli in the basket.
2 lbs broccoli
Lock the lid into place and set the steam release handle to “Sealing”. Press Manual>High Pressure>0 minutes.
When it has finished cooking, carefully flip the steam release handle to “venting” and allow pressure to be released.
Remove the lid and season to taste.
Notes
If you increase or decrease the amount of broccoli, the cooking time and water added will remain the same. You need at least 1 cup of water and the cooking time will always be "0" minutes.
As soon as the Instant Pot finishes cooking, flip the vent to "venting". Allowing the Instant Pot to sit longer can lead to mushy broccoli.
Aim for cutting the florets to a uniform size if possible. It will allow for more consistent cooking.
