Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 7 minutes
Total Time 22 minutes
Servings 6 beets

Ingredients
  

  • 2 bunches Fresh Beets
  • 12 ounces water

Instructions
 

  • First, wash and scrub your beets. Remove the leaves and stem, but do not peel your beets.
  • Grab the steamer basket and put that into your Instant Pot. Put the beets into the steamer basket.
  • Add the water to the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  • Put the lid on the Instant Pot and seal the valve.
  • Cook "Manual" high pressure for 7 minutes. If you have small beets, it is 5 minute cook time, and large are 10 minutes. Since we are using medium for this recipe, it is 7 minutes.
  • After the timer is up, allow for a 10 minute natural release of pressure. Once that time is up, you can quick release remaining pressure.
  • Take the steamer basket out of the instant Pot and run the beets under cold water. Simply rub the skin off the beets with your fingers.
  • Cut the beets up into quarters or halves, and then serve.
