Instant Pot Broccoli is amazing. And You know what, it’s cook time is 0 Minutes. Talk about a great and easy, fast recipe. Simple, easy, and delicious; my favorite words when it comes to cooking.

Simple Directions:

How To Get Your Broccoli Ready For the Instant Pot-

You are only using broccoli florets for this recipe, so you can either purchase a bag already pre-washed for the Instant Pot. Or you can cut the broccoli head into broccoli florets.

Cutting them from the broccoli head: if you need to cut your broccoli, use a sharp knife and cut the broccoli florets where they meet the stem. If the florets are large, you can split them in half by cutting the stem and the florets in half.

If you want to add the broccoli stem to the Instant Pot, to steam it, add it in, otherwise dispose of it. Or save it in the freezer for soups, etc.

How To Place Your Broccoli In the Instant Pot For The Broccoli To Steam

I personally use a steamer basket, but if you do not have one, add the broccoli and the water to the Instant Pot.

Set the timer to 0 minutes, but note it will take about 5 minutes to get the instant POt to pressure.

When the time is up, do a quick release, meaning to open the valve and let the rest of the pressure out, so that you can open your Instant Pot.

How To Season Your Steamed Broccoli-

If you are looking for an easy way to jazz up your Instant Pot Broccoli, here are some of my favorite seasonings for steamed broccoli,

  • Olive Oil, salt, and black pepper. Simple, but it gives it a nice flavor. And most items are probably already in your pantry.
  • Lemon, Thyme, Garlic Salt, and Olive oil, another great combination.
  • Olive Oil, Minced Garlic, Crushed Red Pepper, Salt, and Black Pepper.
