I love a classic pot roast just like this Instant Pot Pot Roast with Vegetables, but I am not always a fan of the veggies. Sometimes they end up not being super flavorful. I usually end up eating the potatoes with ketchup and dousing the carrots in salt. Sometime the texture can also be off too. They can end up overcooked.
This instant pot pot roast with vegetables recipe is my new favorite way to make that classic dish. The roasts cooks in juices making a flavor gravy. However, before making the gravy, the vegetables cook in the juices. They cook just long enough to be the perfect tenderness.
After the veggies cook, you remove them with a slotted spoon and toss them in butter. No more issues with veggies with no flavor or overcooked texture.
At this point, the juices are then turned into an awesome gravy to drizzle over that tender roast. Give this version a try in the instant pot. I think it will be a hit.
