Instant Pot Asparagus

Instant Pot Asparagus Recipe

Our Instant Pot Asparagus is tender, but still has a nice crunch and flavor thanks to toasted almonds and orange zest. Everything you need is super easy to find—just make sure to buy asparagus with medium thickness, as asparagus that's too thin or small will become mushy.

Monkey bread gets even more amazing with the help of your Instant Pot. This Instant Pot monkey bread may seem intimidating, but it turns out surprisingly simple and delicious.

Instant Pot Pork Sliders with Watermelon Barbecue Sauce

Instant Pot Pork Sliders with Watermelon Barbecue Sauce Recipe

This has all the flavor and tenderness of all-day barbecue, but comes together in a few hours. The watermelon juice replaces the stock usually found in Instant Pot or slow cooker pulled pork recipes, and the rind gives the sauce from extra body. The pork's sweetness resembles that of al pastor, so it would work just as well in tacos as it does in sliders.

Instant Pot Mac and Cheese with Bacon Recipe

If you thought you loved your Instant Pot, just wait until you make a rich and gooey bowl of macaroni and cheese within minutes. The Instant Pot's pressure function allows you to skip the entire process of boiling water, cooking, and draining the pasta saving valuable time over a traditional stovetop mac and cheese recipe.

Instant Pot Sunday Sauce and Meatballs Recipe

Sure the idea of "Sunday sauce" is great, but the reality is, you're not always going to have the flexibility to start a pot of sauce in the morning and stay home while it cooks throughout the day—even on the weekend. However, thanks to the ever-handy Instant Pot you can enjoy the robust flavor of a slow-simmered tomato sauce in less than an hour.

Instant Pot Green Bean Casserole

Instant Pot Green Bean Casserole Recipe

This take on green bean casserole removes the add-ins you'd encounter with canned soup and frees up the stove and oven for all the other holiday dishes. Browning the onions adds so much flavor to the gravy while maintaining an Easter side that's still somewhat light—there's just enough sauce, but plenty of flavor.
