Instant Pot Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts have a bad reputation, but we’re here to change that! When cooked correctly, they can be tender, flavorful, and downright delightful. This Instant Pot recipe infuses the sprouts with a delightful taste, and they come together in no time!

Ingredients:
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 1 cup vegetable broth or water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
- Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare your Brussels sprouts by trimming the ends and cutting them in half.
- Set your Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add olive oil and minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the pot along with the vegetable broth (or water). Season with salt and pepper.
- Secure the lid on the Instant Pot, ensuring the steam valve is closed. Set it to manual pressure for 5 minutes. It will take a few minutes for the pot to come to pressure before the cooking begins.
- Once the cooking time is complete, quickly release the pressure. Carefully remove the lid when it’s safe to do so.
- If you want to add balsamic vinegar, drizzle it over the sprouts now and give them a gentle toss.
- Serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired. These savory Brussels sprouts make the perfect accompaniment to any main dish!
