Equipment

  • Instant pot

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cloves Garlic chopped small
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 pound Baby gold potatoes cut into halves or quarters
  • 1 pound Carrots peeled and cut in halves
  • 1 cup Water
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley chopped small
  • ½ tsp Black pepper
  • ½ tsp Salt

Instructions
 

  • Prep: First, chop the garlic into tiny pieces and gather all your ingredients together.
  • Sauté: Turn on your Instant Pot and choose the sauté option. Add olive oil and chopped garlic, then stir and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Add Veggies: Put in the potatoes, carrots, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix them all together really well.
  • Add Water: Pour the water over the veggies in the pot.
  • Pressure Cook: Shut the lid tight on the Instant Pot and make sure the steam release valve is closed.
  • Set Time: Cook everything for three minutes. It might take a little while for the Instant Pot to get hot, and then it'll start counting down from three minutes.
  • Natural Release: After cooking, let the pressure go down by itself for 2 minutes.
  • Venting: Carefully turn the steam release valve to let out any extra pressure using a wooden spoon. Watch out for the hot steam.
  • Open Pot: When it's safe, open up the Instant Pot lid.
  • Drain and Serve: Carefully pour out any leftover water from the veggies. Put them on a plate or in a bowl, and if you want, sprinkle some extra chopped parsley on top.

Notes

  • Make sure not to pack too many veggies into the Instant Pot. Leave some space for them to cook evenly.
  • Adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs, like parsley, before serving can add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
  • Enjoy your potatoes and carrots straight out of the Instant Pot for the best flavor and texture.
