Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Trivet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs beets about 6-7 medium beets
  • 2 cups water

Instructions
 

  • Wash the beets, and slice off the root and stem portion of the beet so it's just the root. Keep the peels on.
  • Place the trivet in the inner pot of the Instant Pot, and place the beets on top. Pour the water to the bottom of the pot, and seal the lid. Pressure cook according to the size of the beets: Small beets = 25 minutes, Medium Beets = 32 minutes, Large Beets = 40 minutes.
  • Once the beets have finished cooked, manually release the pressure.
  • Rinse the beets under cold water, and peel the skin using gloves.
  • Enjoy peeled beets by themselves, or use in any recipe that calls for cooked beets.
