One of our favorite things about the Instant Pot is the ability to reduce long cooking time to just a few minutes. Take a pork shoulder, for instance. Three to four hours of slow braising is down to less than an hour. Not to mention not having to soak beans. Outside beans, however, we hadn’t explored many vegetarian Instant Pot recipes. Time to change that! We found a risotto that will save us from standing over the stove, giving us plenty of time to clean up the house or scroll Instagram. Or how about a lentil Bolognese that’s full of flavor and fiber? Wrapping it all up, we made a quinoa and black bean chili that might replace it’s meatier cousin. Turns out vegetarian meals and the Instant Pot are more compatible that we had hoped.

The farmer’s market is changing. Just a few last tomatoes, no more basil, but lots and lots of sweet potatoes, rutabagas, and new potatoes. Maybe not as sexy as a fresh ripe heirloom tomato, but with enough love just as tasty. We have three root vegetable recipes to get you started with the fall. A Creamy, Vegan Root Vegetable Soup surprised us with its flavor. Just as easy was Cup of Jo’s Roasted Vegetable Tart with Caramelized Onions and Feta. Which, we have to admit, even felt a little fancy with the puff pastry. Last we made a Sheet Pan Chicken and Roasted Harvest Vegetables with a secret ingredient (ok, it was bacon) that took everything over the top. Sure, it’s no longer BLT season. But these root vegetable recipes might just get us through the long winter ahead.
