If your days are busy, or you just need a quick and comforting meal, these 20 comforting and healthy gluten-free Instant Pot recipes are for you! No matter your dietary needs, there's something for everyone included.
During the chilly months of late fall and the biting cold of winter, comfort food is all that's on my mind. Nothing warms me up quite like a big bowl of stew, or steaming pot of pasta. And when that comfort food is health and comes to my table easily, it's an extra win!
All of the recipes included in this round-up meet those three requirements: comforting, healthy, and make easy with the use of an Instant Pot! If you haven't yet tried the Instant Pot, let these recipes win you over. From pumpkin pie and homemade yogurt to roasts and the easiest pot of beans you'll ever make, the Instant Pot does it all well.
While there are a few different sizes of Instant Pot available, I use the 6-quart 7-in-1 Instant Pot and the 8-quart 7-in-1 Instant Pot. Both have every feature you'll need to make these recipes, and can fit enough food to easily feed a family. For families of 4+, I definitely recommend the 8-quart model.
If you do have an Instant Pot, you're probably looking for Instant Pot gluten-free recipes! I have several for you to pick from.
Gluten-Free Instant Pot Recipes
Gluten-Free Instant Pot Dinners:
I make this Instant Pot Pulled Pork recipe for nearly every big get together we host at our home. It feeds a lot of people on the cheap. Use it for carnitas, burritos, rice bowls, nachos, salads, pulled pork sandwiches, or for whatever your heart desires. Because of the dry rub, BBQ sauce is not needed (unless you really want it). This meat is very flavorful and incredibly juicy.
