I have 9 gluten-free Instant Pot recipes. An Instant Pot is an electric pressure cooker if you don’t already know. If you want to make your life easier by preparing meals more quickly you are going to want to start using an Instant Pot. They are the newest craze and rightly so. I have two Instant Pots and I just love them.
One wasn’t enough I needed one for my main dish and one for my side dishes. I use my Instant Pots about 4-5 times a week. These recipes are not made for a regular pressure cooker, these recipes are all gluten-free and made to be used with an Instant Pot.
An Instant Pot is great to cook food quickly like baked potatoes, hard-boiled eggs and corn on the cob. My favorite thing to cook in an Instant Pot is brown rice. It cooks quickly so I can actually make it often. I usually forget to start cooking it soon enough to be ready when the rest of my meal is finished. If you don’t like brown rice, cooking white rice in an Instant Pot is so easy peasy.
All you do to cook white rice in an instant is put the desired amount of rice in the pot then put one half to three quarters cup more water than rice in the pot. After that, you put the lid on the pot and push the rice button. That’s all you have to do. Seriously, it can’t get any easier than that. To make life even better rice is gluten-free. The reason I love this method is that it doesn’t matter whether you cook one cup or 5 cups of rice all you have to do is push the rice button.
The Instant Pot is so smart it knows exactly how long to cook the rice to make it perfect whether you have one cup or 5 cups. I haven’t tried it but my sister cooks steel cut oats in hers. Of course, it takes a lot less time too. She makes enough for several days and just stores it in the frig and heats it up when she wants to eat it for breakfast.
Instant Pots come with directions and charts telling you how to use it, how long to cook certain foods plus a recipe book.
An instant pot can be intimidating especially if you don’t have a precise recipe like the ones below. I hope these gluten-free Instant Pot recipes are just what you’ve been looking for.
Below are two links to blog posts that can help you understand how an instant pot works and can help you learn how to adjust your favorite recipes so they will work good in an Instant Pot or pressure cooker.

It is so easy to make this potato salad because I make it in the instant pot. I don’t even peel the potatoes. The potatoes come out the perfect texture every time when I cook them in the Instant Pot. You won’t be able to stop eating it. You’ll never want to make potato salad any other way again.
3. Pressure Cooker Butter Chicken – The Primal Desire
Chicken Thighs – Ghee – Onions – Real Salt – Garlic Powder – Ginger Powder – Turmeric – Paprika – Cayenne Powder – Tomatoes – Tomato Paste – Coconut Milk – Garam Masala – Almonds – Cilantro
This Indian dish is all about the spices. They are what make it what it is, flavorful and delicious. First Raj had this recipe made on the stove top. Now he has an Instant Pot version that takes about half the time to make. The old version took about an hour to prepare and the pressure cooker version takes about half an hour. It still has the same great flavor so I say, why not?
4. Lemon Garden Vegetable & Chicken Soup – Foraged Dish
Coconut Oil – Chicken Thighs – Leek – Garlic – Carrots – Zucchini – Summer Squash – Tomato – Asparagus – Fresh Rosemary – Fresh Thyme – Lemon – Spinach – Sugar Snap Peas – Bone Broth
This soup is full of flavor from veggies some of which can be grown in your garden. Vegetables taste so much better and are so much more healthy when they are grown in the garden. Maybe it should be called it “garden to table soup”. You can be creative and add or not use any vegetables you’d like. Every soup could be a little different because what is grown in every garden is different. Soup is especially easy to make in an Instant Pot.
5. Fall-Off-The-Bone Pressure Cooker Chicken (in 30 Minutes!) – Healing Gourmet
Whole Chicken – Coconut Oil – Paprika – Chicken Broth – Thyme – Lemon Juice – Real Salt – Garlic
There could be several uses for this recipe. You could either just eat it the plain chicken with side dishes like mashed potatoes and salad. Or you could cook it and use it like you would a rotisserie chicken you buy from the store. You could take it off the bones and use the chicken for your favorite chicken dinner recipe. The possibilities are endless.
6. 5 Minute {Pressure Cooker} Shrimp Scampi Paella – Health Start in the Kitchen
Shrimp – Jasmine Rice – Butter – Fresh Parsley – Real Salt – Crushed Red Pepper – Lemon – Saffron – Garlic – Cheese
This paella has a shrimp scampi butter flavor instead of traditional paella ingredients. It’s suggested that you use large frozen shrimp because shrimp don’t take very long to cook and it’s cooked at the same time as the rice. It’s also suggested that you cook it with the shells on because the so much of the flavor comes from the shells. You can remove the shells when you eat it because the shrimp is just laid on top of the rice when you cook it.
7. Pressure Cooker Lemon Olive Chicken – Health Starts in the Kitchen
Chicken Breasts – Cumin – Real Salt – Butter – Lemons – Chicken Broth – Green Olives – Red Onion

Your taste buds will be singing. Serve it with rice and steamed asparagus. It’s so quick and easy to make.
8. Instant Pot Refried Beans – Allergy Free Alaska
Pinto Beans – Onion – Garlic – Jalapeno – Oregano – Cumin – Lard – Chicken Broth – Real Salt
Pair with Gluten Free Spinach Tortillas Recipe
Refried beans are a staple in my kitchens. If you are used to cooking dry beans any other way, you have to dry making them in the Instant Pot. You’ll never go back to making them your old way again. You won’t believe how quick and easy these are. It only takes thirty minutes to cook them. That doesn’t include the time it takes to get them up to pressure and to release the pressure. You can use these beans that same way you would use the refried beans you made the old way. It’s just a lot faster and easier to cook them this way. You’ll fall in love with your Instant Pot and I believe that it’s well worth the money. If you can’t afford one right now, Amazon always has them on a daily deal at least one time right around black Friday.
9. Brown Rice Mung Bean Kitchari (Mung Bean Ste) – Vegan Richa
Mung Beans – Rice – Oil – Cumin Seeds – Red Onion – Tomatoes – Garlic – Fresh Ginger – Turmeric – Coriander – Garam Masala – Cayenne – Lemon Juice
Pressure cookers have been used for ages in cooking Indian food. These Instant Pot pressure cookers are easier to use and way safer than the old stove top versions. They are programmable and have many functions that make them very versatile. It can also be used as a slow cooker and you can make yogurt. But even if you don’t use any of those fancy functions you will fall in love with it. I use it to cook brown rice really fast and soups. I also like to use it to cook sweet potatoes and butternut squash to mash up. I have yet to perfect cooking meat in it but I plan to do that this week. I was intimidated when I first got mine and read the instruction manual. After you use it a couple times it becomes second nature to you. Then you’ll start thinking of all your favorite recipes and how you can make them in the instant pot.
I hope you love these Gluten-Free Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Recipes as much as I do.
Have a fun time experimenting with your Instant Pot and I hope you really find these gluten-free Instant Pot recipes useful.
