Instant Pot Green Beans is possibly the fastest way to cook fresh green beans! Within a few short minutes you can have bright green, crunchy and delicious green beans on your plate.
With delicious parmesan cheese topping these green beans after they’ve been cooked you can be sure that they’re going to taste great and look extra fancy. Despite looking fancy, the dish is as simple as it gets.
The hardest part of making these Instant Pot Green Beans is prepping the fresh green beans! Washing, trimming, and then removing any of those long strings that you may not want to eat takes longer than the actual cooking part and is the only hands-on work you’ll have to do.

I made the instant pot green beans to accompany my rack of lamb. The beans came out perfect: bright green with a slight snap, not mushy.
This is a great very quick recipe.
