Instructions
Peel and cube your sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Uniform size means even cooking inside the cooker.
Toss the cubes in a large bowl with extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper until they're evenly coated. Don’t skimp on the oil or seasoning.
Pour in about a cup of vegetable broth into the bottom of the pressure cooker. That broth depth is key to prevent burning and provide steam.
Place a trivet or a steamer basket inside the cooker. Arrange the sweet potato cubes on it so they aren’t sitting directly in the broth.
Lock the lid, set the valve to sealed, and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. After that, let it do a natural release for 10 minutes. This helps keep that tender pull texture.
Once the float valve drops, open carefully. Drain any remaining broth and gently toss the potatoes with a bit more oil if you want.
Optional but totally recommended, spread them on parchment-lined baking sheets and roast at 425°F for 20-25 minutes until the edges get nice and browned. Flip halfway through. Then serve warm.
Notes
Serve warm as a side dish or part of a bowl meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
