35 Must-Try Vegan Instant Pot Recipes

 

I’ve quickly become a mahoooosive fan of the Instant Pot, and it seems like everyone else has too. It’s quick, convenient, and versatile… what’s not to love?? 

Oh, and it’s also quiet. Electric pressure cookers are brilliant like that: exceptionally quiet compared to standard pressure cookers. No more jumping out of your chair when the pressure finally builds up and steam shoots out of the rattling pressure weight.

Nope, they’re barely audible at all (especially when there’s background noise, like the kiddoes playing in the other room). Pressure cooker bliss.

The list includes 35 delicious vegan Instant Pot recipes, 9 of which are Instant Pot soup recipes. All 35 recipes are perfect for this time of year when the weather is cold and dreary — these recipes will warm you right up.

But if you land on this post when the weather is hot and toasty, the beauty of an electric pressure cooker is it won’t heat up your kitchen.
