HEALTHY STEAMED VEGETABLES



Healthy Steamed Vegetables image

This is the healthiest way you can eat vegetables. When served raw, if not chewed thoroughly, vegetables can cause polyps to form on the inner tract of the colon. If boiled or canned, the vitamins are diminished. Proper steaming of your vegetables leaves the vitamins and minerals intact, while also saving your tummy lots of trouble. It's delicious, too! Multiply this recipe by the number of adult servings you need...it's that easy! :) You can use any variety of vegetables in season, or not...even frozen vegetables. One cup [cooked weight] is one serving.

INSTANT POT® STEAMED VEGETABLES



Instant Pot® Steamed Vegetables image

Fresh, al dente vegetables steamed in your Instant Pot® using Chinese bamboo baskets. Cooking time is minimal, making one wonder why all the fuss to use a pressure cooker instead of traditional steamer basket. I have found that this method creates a crisp but tender vegetable with minimal mess and much safer than an open steamer set-up. This recipe uses a two-tier, 6.5-inch basket with lid, in a 6-quart pot.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Carrots

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2-tier 6 1/2- inch bamboo steamer basket with lid
4 large cauliflower florets, stems removed
4 large broccoli florets, stems removed
1 large carrot
16 fresh green beans
2 leaves napa cabbage

Steps:

  • Soak the steamer basket in water for 30 minutes.
  • Wash cauliflower and broccoli florets. Peel and wash the carrot. Cut carrot in half and cut each half into 4 sticks, for 8 sticks total. Trim green beans.
  • Remove steamer baskets from the water. Place one cabbage leaf on the bottom of one basket. Put the cauliflower florets, stem side down, on top of the leaf in a single layer. Add 8 green beans and 4 carrot sticks between the cauliflower florets. Place the second basket on top. Line the top basket with the remaining cabbage leaf. Put the broccoli florets, stem side down, on top of the leaf in a single layer. Add 8 green beans and 4 carrot sticks between the broccoli florets.
  • Pour 1 1/2 cups water into the bottom of an 6-quarter electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add the basket and cover with the lid. Close and lock the cooker lid. Select low pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 1 minute. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Turn off the cooker when the timer rings. Wait for 3 minutes. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
  • Set the baskets onto plates to serve the vegetables in the baskets for a decorative touch. Use chopsticks to serve.

MEAL PREP STEAMED VEGETABLES



Meal Prep Steamed Vegetables image

When it comes to prepping for the week ahead, we love cooking off lots of veggies so we can reach for them instead of something less healthy in the scramble of making a weeknight meal. Blanching a vegetable in boiling water and then plunging it in an ice bath is great when you're making just one kind. But for a large-scale production, our go-to method is steaming. You can use the same water for multiple batches, steaming one vegetable after the next. The result: a rainbow of perfectly cooked vegetables at the ready for grain bowls, pastas, salads, frittatas and more.
