Tips for perfectly cooked Instant Pot Vegetables
Be sure to use a steamer basket or metal trivet.
Cut your vegetables into equal sizes to ensure that the vegetables cook evenly. Also only cut vegetables if necessary.
Add the seasonings after you remove the steamed vegetables from the Instant Pot, to get the best flavor from the veggies.
You must add water to the bottom of the pot which is required to convert water into steam.
No need to prick the surface of starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes, potatoes or beets with fork when cooking in instant pot.
