15 Vegetarian Instant Pot Recipes to Add to Your Rotation

We could all use a helping hand in the kitchen from time to time. When we’re racing the clock (or need to whip up a minimal-effort main) we reach for our Instant Pot. This popular countertop appliance can handle everything from healthy meals to cozy soups with ease, making it our go-to for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And, while the Instant Pot might evoke images of beefy stews or meaty, pressure-cooked dishes, it’s just as useful for vegetarian recipes. Take this Mediterranean-inspired quinoa bowl, for example. It’s packed with protein, full of flavor (thanks to tzatziki, crumbled feta and fresh grape tomatoes) and on the table in just 20 minutes flat!

Here's a simple and well-balanced veggie burger that won't break the bank. Tender lentils and roasted sweet potato and mushrooms come together in a satisfying patty that's served piled high with creamy, tangy coleslaw.

Using fresh baby spinach cooked quickly in a pressure cooker makes for a creamy and spicy Indian comfort food that pairs perfectly with basmati rice or warm naan.

Inspired by the baked feta pasta that took the internet by storm, this recipe is similarly easy but uses creamy goat cheese and comes together in a fraction of the time, thanks to the Instant Pot! We opted for a short, tubular pasta for this dish to capture a bit of the creamy sauce inside each piece. Top with a sprinkle of fresh basil and you have a bright and flavorful dish you’ll want to make year-round.
