How to make vegan Instant Pot brussels sprouts?
For a vegan recipe, just replace the butter with 2 tbsp of olive oil or canola oil.
Do I need to use a trivet or a steamer basket?
No. For this recipe I didn’t use any Instant Pot steamer baskeet or trivet, and put the brussels sprouts directly at the bottom of the pressure cooker.

Do you add any fluid to brussell sprouts?
Yes vegetable broth is used in this recipe. Due to typing error it was missed. Thanks for bringing this in my notice 🙂
Can you air fry a protein like chicken at the same time, and how so?
Can I use water instead of vegetable broth?
Yes you can :] If you do so, just add more spices.
I followed the instructions exactly. Next time I’ll modify. Suggestions: 1. sauté Brussels sprouts without the broth to get some browning (they just steamed in the broth). 2. Cut the pressure cook time down to 3 minutes. They’re very tasty but quite mushy. Yummm otherwise!
how long do u marinate them for
Do you use whole sprouts or do you halve them?
This brussel sprouts recipe is so good. Followed it almost as directed. But, I was too hungry to let them marinate more than two minutes. The brussel sprouts still turned out great. Thank you for posting this recipe Corrie. It will definitely be added to my rotation.
