Ingredients

1 pound carrots
1 cup water

US (cups) - UK (ml/g)

Instructions

Peel the carrots, and slice them into 1-2 inch pieces. I like to cut them diagonally as it looks a little nicer.
Pour the water into the instant pot, and place the carrots into a steaming basket over it. Cover the instant pot with the lid.
Turn the venting valve to SEALING, and activate the steam setting on high pressure for 2 minutes, or 3 minutes if you prefer really soft carrots.
When the carrots have finished steaming, carefully turn the valve to do a quick release of the pressure.
Optionally, add some seasoning or garnish to the carrots, and serve immediately.
