How to Make Instant Pot Artichokes

First, cut the stem of the artichoke off and trim about 1 inch off the tip of the artichokes with kitchen shears.  Place cold water and a steamer rack in the Instant Pot pressure cooker.  Add the 2 whole artichokes to the steamer rack, close the lid, and pressure cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.  These Instant Pot Artichokes are so easy and take less than 15 minutes to make.

All about Artichokes

Artichokes are native to the Mediterranean region.  They are low in calories and a good source of potassium, vitamin C, folate, magnesium, and fiber.  One artichoke contains nearly 1/4 the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) of fiber, which keeps you full and supports a healthy gut!  They are also one of the most antioxidant-rich of all the vegetables.

You can cook artichokes in a variety of ways.  They can be steamed, boiled, roasted, and sautéed.  Steaming is a very popular method, and takes about 20-40 minutes, while baking artichokes takes about 40 minutes in a 350 degree F oven.  Instant Pot Artichokes are by far the fastest, taking just 8 minutes.

Enjoy your Instant Pot Artichokes by dipping them in aioli or herb butter, putting on top of a pizza, adding them to a pasta dish, or turning them into a sauce!
