You’re going to love these delicious, easy, and nutritious vegan Instant Pot recipes!

Buying an Instant Pot was the best kitchen appliance purchase I’ve ever made. Seriously, this thing is a lifesaver! While being a full-time mama to Baby J and a full-time business owner, throwing everything for a meal into the Instant Pot is sometimes the easiest way to get dinner done. Instant Pot didn’t sponsor this post, but I highly recommend you get yourself one!

What can you cook in the Instant Pot?

Almost anything! The appliance has a few different models, but with each one you can pressure cook, sauté, slow cook, & steam. I love to cook beans in the Instant Pot because soaking isn’t necessary. Since they don’t need to soak, you saved an extra step the night before! However, soaked beans do cook more evenly, so keep that in mind.

The vegan Instant Pot recipes below are a great place to get started. They’re so good, you might even add them to your weekly meal rotation.
