7 Instant Pot snacks that are easy to make and addicting to eat!

Instant Pot Snacks
I don’t think I could make it through the day without snacks. I am definitely not a 3 square meals a day type of person. Although I mostly use my Instant Pots to make dinner each night I also use it for other snack-y types of foods. Today I have 7 different Instant Pot snacks to share with you.
Instant Pot Popcorn
Popping popcorn in your Instant Pot is super fun and easy! Here’s how I do it:
- Turn your Instant Pot to saute setting on MORE.
- When the display says HOT add in 2 Tbsp of coconut oil and let it melt.
- Add in 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels. Use a spoon to push them down into an even layer on the sides of the pot where the oil is.
- Wait until the first few kernels start to pop. Then place a glass lid on top of the Instant Pot. Let the popcorn pop. When there’s more time between popping sounds shake the Instant Pot back and forth a bit. When there is more than 15 seconds between pops turn off the Instant Pot.
- Flavor with salt, pepper and melted butter.
Instant Pot Cracker Jacks
