Instant Pot Side Dishes

The options for Instant Pot side dishes are endless, and these recipes are sure to make you love your pressure cooker even more!

Whether it's a quick vegetable like broccoli or asparagus or a hearty grain like barley or farro you're after, the Instant Pot makes whipping up side dishes so easy!

From sweet and savory acorn squash to nutmeg-spiced mashed sweet potatoes, these easy side dishes will impress.

Serve them with pressure cooker main dishes, but they also pair well with air fryer main meals especially if you have a pressure cooker and air fryer duo!

*All of my pressure cooker side dishes have been extensively tested in both 6 and 8 quart Instant Pots. They should work in all brands but ingredients may need to be adjusted for 3 and 10 quart pressure cookers.
