15 Instant Pot Recipes to Power You Through Whole30

Leverage your Instant Pot to have a whole roasted chicken on the table ASAP. Cornstarch is optional here; leave it out. And be sure to use chicken broth with Whole30-compliant ingredients.

Russet potatoes aside, you'll find all the ingredients you need for these crispy, garlicky potatoes already in your pantry. And as with chicken broth, choose vegetable broth with no added sugar or other sneaky ingredients.

"This was excellent! I made as written except for the lemon zest because I didn't have it, and it was still great.

This soup has tons of flavor, and it doesn't get any easier or faster than this." — Soup Loving Nicole

If you haven't added fish sauce (like this sugar-free version) to your Whole30 arsenal, this Filipino-inspired recipe may just convince you to. You can splash it in Whole30 stir fries and Thai-style curries, too.

Sauerkraut doesn't ferment in the Instant Pot, but it tastes pleasantly salty all the same.

Make a filling meal of this veggie-packed soup with a baked potato or your choice of protein on the side (if not both).

Full-fat coconut milk makes these Instant Pot Mashed Sweet Potatoes smooth and creamy. Replace butter with just-as-decadent ghee.

Butternut squash adds subtle sweetness to our Instant Pot take on chicken tagine. Spices like cinnamon, cumin, paprika, coriander, garlic, and ginger are essential to this aromatic dish.

"I was amazed at the pork's tenderness in such a short cooking time," Jane Guzauskas Ruby says. Marinating it in olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt for eight or more hours does the trick.
