Instant Pot brussel sprouts are a tasty and fun way to make a green side dish worthy of your dinner table. Caramelized and tender, they’re a hit!

With a few simple steps, you can have a flavorful, colorful, and fun pot of brussel sprouts ready to dig in.

Cooking brussel sprouts can be a bit of a challenge for anyone without much experience with the vegetable. Any wrong move could bring out the naturally bitter flavor.

Thankfully, this Instant Pot brussel sprout recipe really cooks them just right so that everything is a perfect blend of flavors and textures.

When cooked correctly, brussel sprouts have a nice sweeter taste similar to broccoli, but they really shine with their own merits.

While brussel sprouts may be the vegetable that gets made fun of on tv, it’s not nearly as unappetizing as film and media portray.

If you’ve never been brave enough to try them before then I urge you to try these Instant Pot brussel sprouts with balsamic vinegar. It’s a great recipe and will help you to see these green veggies in an entirely new light.

How to make Instant Pot brussel sprouts

  • After washing the brussel sprouts, slice them in half down the center.
  • Pour your olive oil into the Instant Pot and turn it on to saute mode for 5 minutes. You have to set a timer, and this works perfectly.
  • Place your brussel sprouts into the hot oil filled Instant Pot and add in the salt and the pepper.
  • Cook them until they’re lightly browned, you may not need all of the 5 minutes.
  • Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot.
  • Turn the vent to the sealing position. Cook on manual high pressure for 1 minute.
  • Once the time is up, do a quick-release of the pressure.
  • Drain the water from the Instant Pot and then toss the brussel sprouts with cranberries and pecans.
  • Toss with balsamic vinegar if desired.
  • Serve and enjoy.

What to serve with brussel sprouts

These brussel sprouts would be a perfect addition to a Thanksgiving table thanks to the cranberries and pecans. The festive flavors and appearance really make them look unique.

Of course serving them on a regular weekday, alongside any main dish is also just as wonderful of an idea. I bet they’d look amazing on a plate next to a pile of cooked tri-color quinoa!

Do cooked brussel sprouts lose nutrients?

Yes, there is some nutrient loss due to cooking, but this could be said about anything that gets cooked. Depending on the method used, some nutrients will always be lost, but the ones that remain are still worth the effort.

No one wants to eat a raw brussel sprout (they can be rather hard to chew) but once cooked they taste amazing, and are packed full of vitamins and minerals that your body needs.!

Do I have to add water to my Instant Pot?

Yes. Instant Pots need to have a good amount of liquid inside to help them come to a proper temperature and pressure hold.

The water used in this recipe is dumped out after the brussels have been cooked because it’s no longer needed after the cooking process.
