It's really EASY to make perfect Instant Pot Green Beans! This recipe is enough for a small batch (two servings), but can easily be doubled.
- ½ pound green beans* *can use fresh or frozen (do not thaw)
- ½ cup low sodium chicken broth* *or veggie broth - See NOTE below
- ¾ Tablespoon butter
- salt and black pepper, to taste
-
Place green beans (fresh or frozen)in inner cannister of the Instant Pot. Pour broth over the green beans. NOTE: Can use steamer basket for green beans, if desired.
-
Lock IP lid in place; flip top venting knob to SEALING. Program the MANUAL button for 1 minute at High Pressure. It will take about 10 minutes for the Instant Pot to reach full pressure. Pressure gauge will pop up, and the timer will come on and begin 1 minute of high pressure cooking.
-
As soon as cooking program has finished (my IP beeps), flip the top venting knob to VENTING, for a Quick Release of internal pressure. After all steam has been released (and pressure gauge on top has dropped down), it is safe to open the lid.
-
Using a slotted spoon, transfer green beans out of the liquid in the pot. Place them in a serving bowl. Immediately top the hot beans with butter, so it has a chance to melt. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then serve immediately! Enjoy!
NOTES:
**DOUBLING the recipe? Only use the same amount of broth indicated in ingredient list (Don't double the broth amount!).
**You can put the green beans in a steamer basket in the inner pot, if desired.
