Instant Pot Green Beans
Quick and tasty Instant Pot green beans, a perfect easy side dish. Steamed green beans have never been easier to cook.
Ingredients
- 300 g Green Beans
- 1 Cup Chicken Stock
- 2 teaspoons Sesame Seeds
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- pinch Freshly Ground Pepper
- tablespoon Minced garlic optional
Instructions
- To cook fresh green beans in the Instant Pot, start by adding the green beans directly to the bottom of the inner pot in your electric pressure cooker.
- Next, add the butter to the green beans.
- Season with salt and black pepper as desired. Add the chicken broth or chicken stock, pouring it over your fresh green beans.
- Close your Instant Pot lid. Close the pressure valve to the sealing position and set your Instant Pot to pressure cook at high pressure for 0 minutes.
- After your Instant Pot has come to pressure and the Instant Pot beeps, use the quick-release method to safely release any remaining steam from the cooker before opening the lid.
- Finally, sprinkle some sesame seeds over top of your pressure cooker green beans. Serve as a side dish or as part of a balanced meal.
Notes
- For perfectly tender Instant Pot green beans, use fresh green beans trimmed of ends for the best texture and flavor.
- If you enjoy a slight crunch, decrease the cooking time by a minute or two in the Instant Pot to get the crisp tender green beans.
- Revive over cooked green beans by plunging them into ice water to stop the cooking process, then sauté with garlic and olive oil for a flavorful boost.
