Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 1 minute

Ingredients

  • 1 pound (450 grams) fresh green beans
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 tablespoon butter I used sunflower butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cup vegetable or chicken stock if vegan, use vegetable stock
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional

Instructions

  • Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Add them to the pot of the Instant Pot, with the butter, garlic, salt and stock.
  • Cover the pot with the lid, and make sure that the valve is in sealing position.
  • Secure the lid and set the vent to SEALING. Select the PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL setting and set the cooking time for 1 minute at high pressure (or 0 minutes if you want them crunchier). The Instant Pot will take around 5 minutes to come to pressure and start cooking. When the cooking program ends, quickly release the steam.
  • Carefully remove the lid, and take the green beans out using kitchen tongs or a slotted spoon. Adjust seasonings to your preference and serve.

Notes

  • This recipe is tested in my 6 quart Instant Pot. If you’re using an 8 quart, you will need to use more liquid.
