Instant Pot Carrots. I love using my Instant Pot Pressure Cooker to make delicious soft and tender carrots.
They taste amazing, have so much flavour that you would think a cheap bag of carrots are organic.
If you want to learn how to make instant pot pressure cooker carrots, then this recipe is a MUST.
I just love carrots. Maybe the price tag has something to do with it.
After all, a kilo bag of carrots here in Portugal costs just 56 cent at normal price and often they are reduced down to just 28 cent.
Quite often we will use a bag of carrots over several meals and therefore 2 bags of carrots will last us a week.
Here is a picture of 1 of the bags that we get for 28 cents:

But what I really hate about carrots is cooking with them, and that is why pressure cooking carrots is the best invention in the kitchen EVER.
You see whenever I am cooking I am obsessed with fast pasta dishes in one pot. I love to make a quick ragu and throw in all the ingredients into one dish and then serve up lunch fast.
I also like other one pot dinners where I just throw everything in and it all cooks at the same time.

But we all know that unless you go to the effort of grating all your carrots with a Julienne Peeler, then you will always be waiting an eternity for your carrots to cook through.
The courgettes, leeks, tomatoes and peas will be done, and you will be waiting for the super crunchy carrots to soften.
That is when the pressure cooker is your best friend and instant pot carrots are the BEST EVER thing since sliced bread.
What I will do is peel and roughly dice my carrots and put them in the pressure cooker.
Then while they are pressure cooking, I will do my other food in my one pot as usual and then the pressure cooker will be done with my perfect instant pot carrots.

Then pour in my instant pot carrots, add a little extra seasoning and I am no longer cursing at my carrots, praying at them to soften.
