Instant Pot Garlic Dill Carrots Cook Time
This recipe is just enough for two people as a side dish. Easily increase the side dish to how many you need to feed. Generally two carrots per person. If you plan to double or triple the recipe don’t double the time. Just increase to 10 minutes for a pot of carrots.
Doubling The Recipe
The 6 minute cook time for the instant pot for the carrots leaves a bit of a crunch. If you desire fully tender carrots then increase the time to 10 minutes also. If doubling the recipe you will need to double the ingredients.
Using fresh dill in this carrot side dish is key. I would not use a dried dill. The fresh is far more aromatic and looks beautiful when used in the carrots. Definitely gives that fresh spring feel to the side dish.
Using a unsalted butter is great in this dish. It allows the sweetness of the carrots to shine though. We like to use a European butter like Finlandia or there is a few others. After steaming drain the pot before adding the butter.
I just love using the instant pot for easy weeknight side dishes. Even for potlucks that I can cook easily ahead then use the keep warm setting. This instant pot corn on the cob is another great side dish.
