This not only saves you time and hassle, but a ton of dishes. No wonder this Canadian-born gadget is on everyone’s wish list!

If you’re the proud owner of an Instant Pot, don’t let it gather dust in a corner. Check out the 10 recipes below so you can make the most your Instant Pot, and ‘wow’ friends and family with your new time-saving abilities. Dinner just got a whole lot easier.

1. Instant Pot Vegan Quinoa Burrito Bowls from Detoxinista

Burrito bowls are always a good idea. And by using quinoa instead of rice, you get more fiber and protein – without compromising any flavour! This recipe is delicious when served hot or cold, so save the leftovers for quick lunches throughout the week.

2. Instant Pot Cauliflower Mac and Cheese from Well Plated

Cauliflower is having its moment – and it’s the secret ingredient in this creamy, cheesy, toddler-approved mac and cheese dish. No one will know there’s a whole head of cauliflower in there and for an even healthier spin, try plant-based pastas like Chickapea Pasta Spirals or Black Bean Rotini.

3. Better For You Instant Pot Chicken and Spinach Ramen from Half Baked Harvest

Colder weather calls for comfort food, and this healthy homemade ramen tastes much better than any instant noodles ever could. It’s filled with lean chicken and lots of veggies, and can be whipped up in a pinch. For a low-carb version, try it with Tastell’s Organic Black Soybean Spaghetti noodles.

4. Superfood Instant Pot Oatmeal in a Jar from Cotter Crunch

This 10-minute oatmeal recipe is packed with superfoods like gluten free rolled oats, goji berries, apples, walnuts, flaxseed, and more. Once you’ve made a big batch, you can save the extras in mason jars so you’re set for the week.

5. Instant Pot Sous Vide Egg Bites from Platings And Pairings

6. Instant Pot Lentil Soup from Detoxinista

Who said hearty soups can’t be healthy – and vegan?! This lentil soup is packed with fibre, protein, and veggies. And as if that weren’t enough, it cooks in only 10 minutes, making it an easy lunch or dinner option for a busy week.

8. Instant Pot Wild Rice Soup from Pinch of Yum

The Instant Pot works just like a slow cooker, but much faster! So this creamy and simple soup is ready in less than an hour, but the flavour will taste like it’s been simmering for hours. Be sure to use actual wild rice instead of brown rice/white rice/“wild rice blend” for best results.

9. Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Pulled Chicken Tacos from The Girl on Bloor

10. Instant Pot Paleo Chocolate Cake from Thriving on Paleo

Believe it or not, you can even use your Instant Pot to bake a delicious cake. Thanks to the almond flour and coconut sugar, this dessert is paleo so it’s a healthy(er) take on the typical gooey, chocolatey cake everyone knows and loves.
