Brussels Sprouts Instant Pot Side Dish

As a kid, I never liked Brussels Sprouts, but now as an adult I absolutely love them. My favorite is to roast them, but sometimes I need a different quick and easy option.

I often use my Instant Pot to save time when cooking the main dish, but it also works well to cook a side dish.

Sauteing Brussels sprouts for a few minutes before pressure cooking gives them great flavor like when I make them on the stove, but without the need to stand there with the skillet.

There are so many different ways to enjoy Brussels sprouts, which is why I love having a basic recipe to work with like this one. It’s easy to tweak seasonings and flavor.

Instant Pot Brussels Sprouts Ingredients

• 2-3 TBS extra virgin olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 1 pound Brussels Sprouts
• ½ cup vegetable broth
• ¼ cup almonds
• 2 TBS honey
• Salt and pepper to taste

Yields: 2-3 servings (as a side dish)

How to Cook Brussels Sprouts in an Instant Pot Pressure Cooker

Start by pouring extra virgin olive oil in the inner pot of your Instant Pot.

Select the sauté setting and add the chopped onions.

Sauté onions until they are translucent, then add Brussels sprouts and sauté/cook for 1-2 minutes.

Turn off the sauté function and pour in vegetable broth. Deglaze the bottom of the pan by scraping it off with a wooden spoon.

Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and set on manual high pressure for 3 minutes.

While the Brussels sprouts cook, chop almonds.

Once time is up, do a Quick Pressure Release.

Serve the cooked Brussels sprouts in a large bowl, sprinkle with chopped almonds, and drizzle with honey.

Serving Suggestions:

You can serve Brussels sprouts along side almost any dinner recipe, such as our Honey Garlic Chicken.

I love bacon with my Brussels sprouts. Add a cup or more of cooked bacon pieces before serving.

If you don’t like almonds, you can choose to leave them out, but they add a nice crunch texture to the dish.
