Instant Pot Ribs

These Instant Pot Ribs are so tender, flavorful, and delicious, it’s really hard to believe they cook in just about 30 minutes! Another great, easy meal made with your pressure cooker.

Cooking tender, bbq ribs at home is one of those dinners that will always, always make me feel like a rock-star for how amazing they turn out, and how little work was required on my part.

My go-to ribs recipe is usually these slow cooker ribs, but the instant pot also makes fantastic ribs, and is perfect for those of us that don’t always plan dinner out early enough to pull the slow cooker out in the morning.
