Instant Pot Easter Recipes – How to Make your Entire Easter Dinner in the Instant Pot

As I’ve shared before, I (like the rest of America!) am pretty obsessed with my Instant Pot. It’s completely changed the way I cook, and I am constantly looking for ways to simplify my cooking and use the Instant Pot. Why should Easter dinner be an exception? Luckily it’s pretty easy to make your entire Easter dinner in the Instant Pot—here are some delicious Instant Pot Easter recipes to try this year!

 

This post contains affilate links at no extra cost to you.

Before we get to the Instant Pot Easter recipes—if you are wondering why to use the Instant Pot, here’s my pitch! The Instant Pot doesn’t necessarily cook things faster—it sometimes definitely does, but not always. So why use it at all? Becuase it’s hands-off cooking. So, for example, you could cook an entire chicken in an hour-ish inside your Instant Pot while you spend that hour playing with your baby, doing dishes, working out, or—let’s be real—catching up on Netflix. 

When it comes to holidays, it’s especially useful to use the Instant Pot for several reasons. You can take away the pressure of everything needing to be cooked the day of by premaking (and reheating) items. You can also free up your oven and stove top by using the Instant Pot instead. Plus, it’s just tasty! ?

So, that’s why I think it’s absolutely worth looking at these Instant Pot Easter recipes and making a few (or all!).

Carrots are probably in my top three favorite veggie list—and these ones from Inspiring NH Kids look amazing! They take two short minutes in the Instant Pot to cook, and although I can’t guarantee it, I have a feeling these would do well frozen then reheated the day of.

Confession: I detest green beans. I won’t go into the long story why, but there is a very traumatic childhood incident involved, yuck! But even I, the ultimate green bean hater, have to admit that green beans deserve a spot at the Instant Pot Easter recipes table. ? These green beans from Margin Making Mom are easy to throw together and totally tasty according to my green bean loving husband. ?

If you make just one Instant Pot Easter recipe this year, make hardboiled eggs. There’s a two-fold reason why—one, you can hardboiled eggs and dye them, or two, you can hard boil eggs and eat them. Deviled eggs are an Easter classic that you can easily prepare the day beforehand. This hardboiled eggs recipe from Unsophisticook is totally doable!
