Garlicky Instant Pot Brussels Sprouts

Jump to Recipe

A quick sauté and just one minute on HIGH pressure is all these garlicky Instant Pot Brussels Sprouts need. The ultimate quick and easy side dish.

Eat more vegetables.

No matter what style of eating you prefer, eating more veggies is never a bad idea. Whether you are vegan, paleo, gluten free, keto, etc… getting lots and lots of plant foods is going to ensure that your body is getting what it needs to feel good.

Raise your hand if you love Brussels sprouts.

I am def on team Brussels sprouts and eat them often. They are high in fiber, vitamin and minerals, and antioxidants. They have been shown to fight cancer (because of sulforaphanes), are good for bone health (because of vitamin K), boost the immune system (because of vitamin C), fight inflammation and heart disease (because of phytonutrients and antioxidants), and are awesome for your digestive tract (because of glucosinolates.)

And they are so damn delicious!

My favorite way to eat Brussels sprouts is roasted until crispy in the oven. But I don’t always have the 30-40 minutes it takes to get them just like I like ’em. That’s where the trusty Instant Pot comes in.

So I had some serious doubts when I first attempted Brussels sprouts in the Instant Pot. I was imagining soggy, mushy veggies. But after several attempt and a few different approaches, I think I got it just right.

There’s a few different methods to cooking Brussels sprouts in the Instant Pot. My preferred way that gets the best texture and flavor (in my humble opinion) is to sauté them in a bit of fat with a healthy dose of chopped garlic and them quickly cook them in a bit of broth on HIGH pressure for one minute. Yes, just one minute.

It’s quick. It’s easy. And you end up with a bit of that roasted flavor that we all love, a savory kick from the broth, and nice and tender Brussels sprouts that the whole family will love.

Dang… don’t those just look perfect!

I’m not going to tell you that they are super crispy like oven roasted Brussels sprouts. Crispy just doesn’t happen in the Instant Pot. But I will tell you that these Instant Pot Brussels Sprouts are full of flavor and will melt in your mouth. And take less than 10 minutes from start to finish.

And that’s important because I know we are all just trying our best to get healthy food on the table. And recipes like this make life easier.

Happy cooking!

xo,

Katja

      Sorry for the late reply. I was offline for the holidays. I wouldn’t increase the time too much or you will get soggy brussels. 🙂

👉 do you have digestive issues? 👉 because 👉 do you have digestive issues? 

👉 because of high stress lifestyles, many of us have an overworked, under-functioning digestive system, imbalanced intestinal flora and a continuous flow of intestinal toxins seeping into the bloodstream 😩 • constipation, diarrhea 💩, gas 💨, heartburn 🔥 + IBS are common complaints of many adults in the US

👉 impaired digestion leads to intestinal toxemia • slow digestion + constipation allow bacteria in the gut to act upon undigested food, producing toxic chemicals and gases that damage the mucous lining, resulting in increased intestinal permeability known as leaky gut • leaky gut can lead to inflammation , food sensitivities, autoimmune reactions, anxiety, depression, acne, + so much more

👉 the colon is one of our major drainage pathways for eliminating toxins + wastes out of the body • it’s no surprise that there has been a huge up-tick in colon cancer as environmental toxins + constipation have increased 

👉 what if our medical system had a better understanding of drainage pathways + the importance of digestive health? • what if our primary doctors talked to us about parasites, pathogens, enemas, saunas, hydration, mindful eating, low stomach acid, + real nutrition? • what if our food system wasn’t corporate sponsored and geared towards profits instead of health? 

👉 i personally had to see 5 different integrative + functional medicine practitioners in order to find real healing • none of it was covered by my insurance • not everyone can afford this • how do millions of people in the country suffer from digestive issues (which lead to a whole host of chronic health issues) but we have no real answer, just band-aids? • how much 💰 does the pharmaceutical industry make from these digestive issues • just starting the conversation • bc i see so many people suffering ❤️

👉P.S. my intention is not to harp on conventional medicine • i’ve been an RN for almost 17 years working bedside with women + their families • i’m speaking from my personal experience of seeing my patient population get sicker + sicker over the years • we are not doing it right • we are missing the mark 🎯
🎂🎂 i’m always looking for a reason to cele 🎂🎂 i’m always looking for a reason to celebrate • finding those small pockets of joy ✨✨ • so when someone i LOVE has a birthday, this is the cake i like to make ❤️ • BROWNIE BOTTOM ICE CREAM CAKE • two layers of your favorite ice cream nested on top of the most delicious gluten + grain free (+ vegan) brownie layer topped with fresh whipped cream, berries, + shaved chocolate • so easy to make and so fun to eat • to make dairy, use dairy free ice cream + coconut whipped cream
