About the Instant Pot…
Where to Find Vegan Recipes for the Instant Pot
One of the first things I did after buying my Instant Pot was order a recipe book to go along with it. “Vegan Under Pressure” came highly recommended, so I went with that one! This book has very helpful charts on how to time everything.
Another Instant Pot vegan recipe book I own and really like is “The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook for Your Instant Pot.”
I also started searching online for Instant Pot Vegan recipes to try and asked a few fellow food blogger friends for easy recipes they would suggest to a newbie, and these are the recipes they recommended.
All of the Instant Pot recipes for vegans (and everyone else, too!) below, are simple enough for someone new to pressure cooking, they’re tried-and-true recipes, and of course, they’re all delicious!
Before you make any of the recipes, make it easy on yourself…be sure to carefully read all of the recipe instructions and to follow them as they are written.
