Looking for vegetarian Instant Pot recipes? These Instant Pot Thai sweet potatoes are a simple, delicious and colorful way to dinner.
If you read our last post, you’ll know: Alex and I were very skeptical of the Instant Pot. Anything that’s trendy turns on our skeptic meter, so we avoided anything Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker for years. We finally decided to give it a try when we found a friend who cooked sweet potatoes in it religiously: and turns out it cooks rice and dried beans too. Perhaps it would give our rice cooker a run for its money? After trying it several times, we found the Instant Pot cooks sweet potatoes in less time than baking and it’s totally hands off. So, we decided the Instant Pot wasn’t so evil after all! And dumped our rice cooker to make space. This healthy sweet potatoes recipe with Thai slaw and a peanut drizzle is our idea on how to use those Instant Pot sweet potatoes — keep reading for the recipe.
How to cook sweet potatoes?Here’s our method for how to cook sweet potatoes in an Instant Pot: they come out with a moist and velvety interior. Of course, you could bake the sweet potatoes if you don’t have an electric pressure cooker! We’ve included baking instructions in the recipe below as well. How long to cook sweet potatoes? Our method for Instant Pot sweet potatoes takes 35 minutes total, including preheat time and natural release time. For this Thai sweet potatoes recipe, you can make the Thai slaw and peanut drizzle in the time it takes to cook the sweet potatoes!
In terms of vegetarian Instant Pot recipes, this one is naturally gluten free and vegan as well! It’s healthy, colorful, and delicious — we served it to our neighbors and they couldn’t believe how flavorful it was. This one’s also a great Back to School recipe, since school will be starting up in a few weeks!
What are other vegetarian Instant Pot recipes?Another hangup about the Instant Pot for us was that we thought it was mainly helpful for cooking meat quickly. Since we eat mainly vegetarian on a daily basis, we were interested in vegetarian Instant Pot recipes. This Instant Pot Thai sweet potatoes recipe is our first vegetarian Instant Pot recipe, but we’re hoping to do many more! We’ve already been experimenting with rice, quinoa, and cooking dried beans. Look for more of these to come!

Are you looking for vegetarian Instant Pot recipes? Or have you not tried it at all — are you an Instant Pot skeptic like we were?

Wanting to eat healthier and enjoy more salads? Try these 5 easy and heathy salad dressing recipes plus get tips for how to make homemade salad dressing! You’ll never buy the store-bought stuff again!
I’m such a fan of homemade salads — they’re easy to make, great for meal prep (looking at you, Mason Jar Salads!), filling, and super tasty!
When it comes to salad dressings, there are so many different options and flavors, sometimes, I even find it difficult to pick one to put on my salad. So, I’m sharing with you not just one, not two, but 5 of my current faves!
One of the biggest annoyances about starting to eat healthy is the misinformation out there about store-bought salad dressings. Sadly, there are so many unhealthy and unnecessary ingredients in most store-bought salad dressings. This is a great example of what’s so important to pay attention and read the labels because there are hidden sugars, salts, fats, and other chemicals that can easily be avoided by making your own salad dressing at home. More on that in this post.
WHAT TYPES OF SALAD DRESSINGS ARE THERE?While it may seem like there are a TON of salad dressing types out there, try to think of it like there are actually two basic types of salad dressings. First off, we have vinaigrettes, which are simple salad dressings based on the mixture of oil and vinegar. The other type is made up of creamy salad dressings, which often use mayonnaise or other milk products, such as yogurt or sour cream as the base.
WHAT IS A VINAIGRETTE?Ever wondered what makes it a vinaigrette? Well, a vinaigrette is made by mixing oil with something acidic. In most cases, it’s either vinegar or freshly squeezed lemon juice.
When it comes to the kind of oil, you can use pretty much any tasty oil you like. I love using olive oil that is full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory substances. Once you’ve got your base, feel free to add herbs and spices for some extra flavor.
HOW TO STORE HOMEMADE SALAD DRESSINGYou made extra? No worries! Whether you made a vinaigrette or a creamy salad dressing, you can safely store it in the fridge and use throughout the week. This makes homemade salads way easy!
When storing homemade salad dressing, make sure you transfer it to a glass jar and cover it with a tight lid before placing in the fridge. Glass is a much better choice for storing your homemade salad dressing than plastic containers, so go get those mason jars!
HOW LONG DOES HOMEMADE SALAD DRESSING LAST?When stored properly, in a glass jar with a tight lid, homemade salad dressing can easily last up to a week in the fridge. If you’ve made a vinaigrette, even up to two weeks which makes salads and homemade salad dressings a great choice for your meal prep. Make sure to store any dairy-based salad dressings in the refrigerator so they don’t spoil.

Confession: cooking with an Instant Pot is not something I ever expected to do. Alex and I are wary of adding new gadgets to our kitchen–and especially things that seem trendy! We want to know that a gadget will be useful in the long term before we’ll commit to hollowing out some cabinet space. So we were on the fence for years until a friend mentioned you can make all sorts of vegetarian Instant Pot recipes: like using an Instant Pot to cook sweet potatoes, grains, and dried beans. Since we eat vegetarian for most meals (and lots of sweet potato recipes!), we thought we’d give it a try. Still skeptical, we put in the raw sweet potatoes…and poof: out came perfectly moist sweet potatoes with little effort and faster than an oven! It’s now our go to method for cooking sweet potatoes. And we got rid of our rice cooker to make space for the Instant Pot! So without further ado, here’s how to cook sweet potatoes in an Instant Pot — first a video, then scroll down for the recipe! Watch the video below >>
What’s an Instant Pot?An Instant Pot is basically a programmable pressure cooker. The one we have is Instant Pot brand: here’s the Instant Pot we have. However, there are many other brands of electric pressure cookers. The concept is to cook foods at high pressure, which dramatically cuts down on cooking time.
Why cook sweet potatoes in a pressure cooker?Cooking sweet potatoes in an electric pressure cooker has a few advantages over baking them. First, it’s a bit quicker: baking sweet potatoes takes nearly 1 hour when accounting for the oven preheat and 45 minute cook time, whereas it takes about 35 minutes total in the Instant Pot. Also, the sweet potatoes come out perfect every time, with a perfectly moist, velvety interior. Finally, cooking sweet potatoes in a pressure cooker is totally hands off: which is helpful since baking requires more steps (rubbing with oil, S&P, checking for doneness, etc). How to cook sweet potatoes in an Instant Pot? Keep reading!
How long does it take to cook sweet potatoes in the Instant Pot?The cook time for pressure cooking sweet potatoes in an Instant Pot is 16 minutes. Wait, 16 minutes?! That’s what I thought — until I learned that the Instant Pot requires about 10 minutes for “preheating” and then about 10 minutes for “cooling down”. The cooling down process is called Natural Release, when the pressure cooker releases the steam inside naturally. So the total time for this recipe is 35 minutes. Pretty good compared to about 1 hour for baked sweet potatoes! The timing for how to cook sweet potatoes in an Instant Pot does depend on the size of the potatoes: this recipe is for medium to large potatoes, about 10 to 12 ounces each. For very large sweet potatoes, use a few more minutes (18 minutes); smaller potatoes could use less time (about 14 minutes).
What are other vegetarian Instant Pot recipes?When we first heard about the Instant Pot, we thought it was mainly helpful for cooking meat quickly. However, since we’ve learned that it’s helpful for vegetarian recipes too, we’re starting to build up some vegetarian Instant Pot recipes. For example, you can make rice, quinoa, dried beans, dried chickpeas, mashed potatoes, and even soups. But before that, we’ve created a special recipe that uses this method (below).

Here’s how to cook sweet potatoes in an Instant Pot — it’s a simple and quick method for perfectly cooked sweet potatoes!
4 medium to large sweet potatoes (about 10 to 12 ounces each)
Place the stainless steel trivet into the Instant Pot / pressure cooker. Add 1 cup of water.
Scrub the sweet potatoes. Place the sweet potatoes onto the stainless steel trivet, stacking them as necessary.
Lock the lid. Place the pressure release handle (vent) in the “Sealing” position.
Press the Pressure Cook button, making sure the “High Pressure” setting is selected. Set the time for 16 minutes (or 14 minutes for smaller sweet potatoes).
Wait while the Instant Pot cooks. It takes about 10 minutes for the pot to “preheat” and come up to pressure before it starts cooking. Once the cooking starts, the minutes on the display will start to count down, then the pot will beep when the cooking is complete. (Note: During cooking, avoid touching the metal part of the lid.)
Use the Natural Release method and wait another 10 minutes to let the pot cool down naturally (set a timer; you’ll notice the minutes on the display also increase). Then vent any remaining steam by moving the pressure release handle to “Venting”, covering your hand with a towel or hot pad. Never put your hands or face near the steam release valve when releasing steam. (The pressure indicator may also drop automatically on its own after 10 minutes, in which case no steam will be built up when you remove the lid.)
Open the lid and carefully remove the hot sweet potatoes. Serve the sweet potatoes immediately, or store in the fridge for 3 to 4 days in an airtight container.
IMPORTANT: Read and abide by all safety precautions in your Instant Pot / pressure cooker manual.

This 9-ingredient recipe starts with roasted spaghetti squash.
I typically cut my spaghetti squash in half and roast it using this method. But I wanted to try Beth’s method of slicing it in rings before baking to achieve longer noodles. I’m happy to report that both work well, so do whichever is easiest for you!
