Step 1

Pour water into the insert pot of the Instant Pot.

Step 2

Add green beans to a steamer basket. Lower the basket into the insert pot.

Step 3

Close the lid and set the vent to the sealed position. Select a cook time of 1 minute at high pressure (or 0 minutes for firmer green beans).

Step 4

After the cook time is complete, perform a quick release of pressure. Carefully remove lid and lift the steamer basket out of the pot (it will be hot!). Serve beans with desired seasonings (see notes below for recommendations).
