Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 pound (450g) Brussels sprouts trimmed and cut in half
  • 3 tablespoons Tamari soy sauce or regular soy sauce if not gluten-free
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes drained

Instructions

  • Add the oil to the Instant Pot insert and select sauté, and leave until the Instant Pot reads hot.
  • Then switch off the sauté mode and add the Brussels sprouts, stir, and let cook in the residual heat for a couple of minutes.
  • Add the vinegar and tamari sauce, stir and cover the Instant Pot, turn valve to sealing, select manual, high pressure and set cook time for 3 minutes.
  • Then perform a quick release, stir in the chopped sun dried tomato and serve.
  • If 3 minutes is not enough the first time, cook for 4 minutes the next time you cook Brussels Sprouts - as it depends on the size of the sprouts.

To make frozen Brussels sprouts:

  • Frozen Brussels sprouts are already soft, so set the cook time for 0 minutes (yes, 0!) and then perform a quick release. I first tried setting the cook time for 1 minute and a QPR, but they were too soft.

Notes

  • No need to core Brussels sprouts. Simply cut the stem end flat, and remove any discolored leaves.
  • Cook with bacon or pancetta, if not vegan.
  • Swap dried cranberries and chopped pecans for the sun-dried tomatoes.
  • If using frozen Brussels sprouts, thaw in the fridge before cooking.
  • The total cook time does not include the time it takes for the Instant Pot to get to pressure and the time for the natural pressure release.
  • Storage - keep cooked brussels sprouts in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • There is 1 WW Blue Plan Smart Points in a serving of this.
