Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Measuring Cup
  • Measuring Spoon
  • Peeler
  • Chef’s Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Rubber Spatula

Ingredients

  • 4 Large (about 2 pounds) Sweet Potatoes
  • 4 Tbsp Butter
  • 0.25 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Honey
  • 0.25 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Cinnamon
  • 0.125 tsp Nutmeg
  • 0.25 cup Pecans, chopped

Instructions

  • Peel the sweet potatoes and chop them roughly into one inch pieces.
  • Place the sweet potatoes in the Instant Pot® with one cup water and close the top.
  • Press the “Manual” button and set the timer to cook for 3 minutes at high pressure. Make sure the steam valve on the top is set to “seal”. Once the timer goes off, do a quick release of the pressure by carefully turning the steam valve to “open”. The steam coming out of the valve will be very hot so be careful!
  • Pour the potatoes into a strainer and set aside. Place the instant pot bowl liner back into the instant pot and add the butter, brown sugar, honey, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and pecans. Press “saute” and stir until the sugar and butter have melted.
  • Turn the Instant pot off and add the cooked sweet potatoes back into the bowl with the syrup mix.
  • Stir everything together and serve while warm! This is a great meal to make ahead and reheat right before you are ready to serve!
