A recipe for crisp tender steamed green beans made in the pressure cooker.
Servings: 4
Calories: 35kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans washed, ends trimmed
- 1 cup water
- desired seasonings
Instructions
- Place 1 cup of water into a 6 quart pressure cooker and 1.5 cups into an 8 quart pressure cooker.
- Place green beans into a steamer basket for the pressure cooker.
- Place the steamer basket into the Instant Pot and seal the lid closed.
- Set to high pressure and manual time of zero minutes. (Or 1 minute on high pressure for softer green beans.)
- Do a quick release of power once time has elapsed.
- Remove green beans from the pressure cooker, season, and serve as desired.
Notes
- I prefer seasoning these steamed green beans with a bit of butter, salt, pepper, and the zest and juice of half a lemon.
- Recipe can easily be doubled, but may desire to cook for 1 minute on high pressure.
