Instructions
Instant Pot Directions
- Dump all the ingredients into your Instant Pot and close the lid, ensuring the valve is in the sealing position. Set to high pressure for 2 minutes, (it will take about 15-20 minutes to reach pressure) then quick release the steam once the timer is complete.
- Serve garnished with desired toppings.
Stove Top Directions
- Add all the ingredients to a large pot with and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes, until veggies are fork tender
- Serve garnished with desired toppings.
Notes
Cut your zucchini and mushroom pieces larger since they cook faster and you don't want them overly soft. The sweet potato can be a little smaller since it has a longer cook time. This will give you evenly cooked veggies.
Quick release and remove the lid immediately (when safe to do so) once pressure cooking completes, to prevent the veggies from over cooking.
Leftovers keep in a sealed container in your fridge for up to 4 days.
