    How to make instant pot zucchini:

    • First, place the liquid at the bottom of the instant pot. 
    • Next, insert the steam basket into the instant pot. Place the cubed zucchini in the basket. 
    • Set the pot to steam for 2 minutes. 
    • Once the two minutes are up, drain the liquid and season the zucchini with the salt and lemon juice. 

    What does this go well with?

    • I like having easy vegetables prepped and ready to go in my refrigerator. This easy vegetable goes great with almost anything. I will make a batch at the beginning of the week and serve it with things like chicken piccata, chicken parmesan, or teriyaki chicken.

    What if I do not have a steam basket for my instant pot?

    • You can steam zucchini on the stovetop with a steam basket. You can also saute it in a little bit of avocado oil or cooking oil with salt. 

    What is the best kind of instant pot?

    • I LOVE this one. I have had it for years and it works so well. It serves multiple functions and only takes up space for one appliance on the counter. You can also use it as an air fryer, instant pot, to saute, to pressure cook and much more!
