Maple-Glazed Pressure Cooker Carrots

Tender, bright and flavorful, these carrots taste like sweet potatoes… but they’re not!
They were so easy to make, that I could not even justify four squares in my step-by-step photos!
Pressure Cooker Tricky Carrots
Author: hip pressure cooking
Recipe type: pressure cooker
Serves: 4-6
INGREDIENTS
- 2 lbs or 1k Carrots, peeled and thickly sliced diagonally
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Maple syrup
- ¼ cup Raisins
- pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- Wash, peel and slice the carrots thickly on the diagonal.
- Put the carrots, raisins and one cup of water in the pressure cooker.
- Close and lock the lid of the pressure cooker and turn the heat to high.
- When the pan reaches pressure, lower the flame to minimum heat and count 1-2 minutes cooking time under pressure. If your pressure cooker has a “low”pressure setting you can cook them for 3-4 minutes. In each case, err on side of less, you still want the carrots slightly firm and not mushy.
- When time is up, bring the pan to the sink, pour cold water over the top, and open the pan.
- While the carrots are straining, in the still-warm pressure melt the butter and maple syrup. Mix well, add the strained carrots and delicately coat them. Serve with freshly cracked pepper.
- Boo!



Those look great! I have a ton of carrots I need to use and will definitely try these soon.
Excellent! I agree, veggies can be a tricky treat! I’m so glad you stopped by my blog so I found yours! I’ve been reading through your recipes and every single one is wonderful and right up my alley! I hope to hear from you more!
btw, in re to your question, I have pressure cooker labeled in my label cloud and am working on making a button or something now that I’ve accumulated several recipes on my blog.
how would you adapt this recipe for sweet potato?
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes and pressure cook at high pressure for 5 minutes.
