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. 🙂

how do you start your day? 💪🏃‍♀️🧘🏽‍♀️🚴🏽‍♂️☕️

mindset mindset mindset 🧠🧠• having a morning routine allows us to set an intention for the day rather then just letting the day run away from us • it helps determine our mind set and the tone for the rest of the day ✨✨

things like meditation, journaling, yoga, exercise, and other self-care practices can help us start the day feeling calm and inspired 🧘🏻 • consciously selecting the thoughts we have, the foods we eat , and the news/social media/images we see matters • a solid morning routine can reduce stress, boost energy, increase mental clarity, and leave us feeling 🤩

creating a morning routine looks different for us all • routine comes easier for some than others • we all have different priorities, time limits, physical needs/abilities, and health concerns there • are no rules • find what works for you 

i know that i feel better when i stick to my morning routine • i know that i feel better when i don’t engage with my phone or social media the first hour or two after waking up • i know i feel better when i consciously select what i bring into my head space first thing in the morning, including the thoughts that i have 

my morning routine currently looks like this:  10 minutes of quiet meditation, some form of elimination pathways opening like Gua Sha, coffee e nema, an epsom salts bath, or a sauna, yoga/workout, and a big green juice 🥬🥒🍏

👉👉 do you have a morning routine?  i’d love to hear how you start your day • leave me a comment below ⤵️⤵️
