The Best Way to steam kale in the instant pot
Hey there! Here's the simplest way to make perfect steamed kale in your Instant Pot:
- Wash your kale and tear it into big pieces (remove the tough stems)
- Pour 1 cup of water into your Instant Pot
- Put the metal trivet (the metal rack that came with your pot) inside
- Place your kale in a steamer basket on top of the trivet
- Close the lid and set valve to 'sealing'
- Press 'Steam' (or 'Manual/Pressure Cook' on some models)
- Set for just 1 minute!
- When it beeps, do a quick release of the pressure
That's it! Your kale will be perfectly steamed. 🥬
Pro Tips:
- Don't overcrowd the pot - kale needs some space
- Season after cooking with salt, pepper, or lemon juice
- If you like softer kale, add 30 seconds to the cooking time
