Scrub the beets well and trim the greens off, leaving a 1-inch stem.

Step 2

Pour the water into the bottom of the Instant Pot.

Step 3

Place the clean beets in the Instant Pot.

Step 4

Put the lid on and turn the valve to “Sealing”.

Step 5

Select “Pressure Cook” or “Manual” on high pressure and set the cycle to 20 minutes.

Step 6

Allow the cycle to run and let the Instant Pot naturally release for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Carefully perform a manual release.

Step 8

Remove the beets from the Instant Pot, and allow them to cool so you can handle them without burning yourself.

On a plastic cutting board, or over the sink, peel the skin off the beets simply by pressing with your fingers. They should slip right off.

Step 10

Serve or store in the fridge for about a week!
