The Best Way to steam asparagus in the instant pot
Here's the simplest way to steam asparagus in your Instant Pot:
- Wash your asparagus and trim off the tough ends
- Pour 1 cup of water into your Instant Pot
- Place the trivet (metal rack) inside
- Put your asparagus on the trivet
- Close the lid and set valve to 'sealing'
- Press 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' (depending on your model)
- Set timer to 0 (zero) minutes
- When it beeps, quickly release the pressure
- Take out asparagus right away to prevent overcooking
That's it! Your asparagus should be perfectly crisp-tender. 🥬
Pro Tip:
If your asparagus is really thick, you might want to do 1 minute instead of 0 minutes.
