By Delia Mooney

1. Instant Pot Coconut Salmon with Fresh Herbs and Lime

2. Instant Pot Flank Steak Taco Salads

This gives taco Tuesday a whole new meaning (but you could try lettuce cups too).

Slurping is encouraged, and you’ll understand once you taste the aromatic, spiced broth.

Who needs a spoon when you can use low-carb tortilla chips instead?

5. Keto Instant Pot Greek Cauliflower Rice

Add chopped fresh herbs like dill, mint and oregano to kick it up a notch.

6. Instant Pot Keto Indian Butter Chicken

This takeout favorite is on your diet (and if you use coconut cream, it’s dairy free). Pair it with riced cauliflower, natch.

7. Keto Instant Pot Sausage-Kale Soup

Guaranteed to warm (and fill) you up. Use any type of sausage and green to customize your bowl.

8. Instant Pot Chicken and ‘Rice’ Soup

Our favorite low-carb vegetable strikes again. (That would be cauliflower, ICYMI.)

9. Instant Pot Garlic Parmesan Spaghetti Squash

Who needs noodles when you have tender spaghetti squash? Psst: You can freeze it once it’s cooked for make-ahead meals.

Don’t save it just for game night. (It’s ready in 30 minutes, so you have no excuse.)

11. Low-Carb Keto Pressure Cooker Corned Beef Brisket

Bookmark this one for St. Paddy’s Day, then pair it with sautéed cabbage for a low-carb side.

12. No-Bean Keto Chili in the Instant Pot

Admittedly, we’re bean lovers, but omitting them makes this dish keto-friendly. Include the jalapeño seeds for an extra kick.

13. Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Soup

In just 20 minutes, dinner is done. Go ahead and double the batch if you want leftovers.

The creamy, spicy sauce makes this dish irresistible. Caramelizing the aromatics is the trick to all that complex flavor.

It’s like a warm hug on a cold winter night, and as an added bonus, it’s ready in about 30 minutes.

16. Instant Pot Balsamic Chicken

This flavorful dish relies on pantry staples for easy flavor. Serve it over a bed of zucchini noodles to switch things up.

17. Instant Pot Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta

Say it with us: Feta is betta. (It’s also low carb, with just 3 grams per serving.)

18. Instant Pot Orange Chicken

Buh-bye, soggy breading and gloppy sauce. This calls for a side of cauliflower rice.

Well, aren’t you fancy? A cup of red wine gives this one depth of flavor—save a glass for the cook, too.

Cooking a whole chicken doesn’t get simpler than this. It’s great as is, but you can also shred it to serve atop sandwiches, salads and rice.

It’s like sunshine in a bowl. Fun fact: Turmeric is rich in curcumin, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
