How to Make Sweet Potatoes in the Instant Pot
You don’t even have to turn on your oven for this recipe because the sweet potatoes are baked right in the Instant Pot! Simply scrub your potatoes, pierce them with a fork, and place them on the trivet inside your pot. Add a cup of water to the bottom of the pot and cook for 15 minutes.
That’s it! While the potatoes are cooking, feel free to catch up on your to-do list or take a much deserved break! The best thing about Instant Pot recipes is that they are totally hands off and don’t require tending to! Just like a slow cooker recipe, but in a fraction of the time.
Whole30 BBQ Chicken Sweet Potatoes
I love this recipe for many reasons, but especially because it feels like comfort food and is still Whole30 compliant! By swapping out traditional sugar-loaded barbecue sauce with a Whole30 compliant brand (or homemade), you get all the same great flavor without the unnecessary empty calories. Barbecue sauce is one of those items that’s an easy swap when introducing a clean eating lifestyle. Check your labels – so many of our store-bought condiments are full of sugar and preservatives and can easily be replace with cleaner versions. I especially love Thrive Market for clean, Whole30 approved sauces, dressings, and condiment options.
