This recipe for Instant Pot Garlic & Onion Green Beans is an easy side dish perfect for any meal and made in under 10 minutes time!

I love an easy side dish that can be used for just about any meal. That is exactly what this recipe for Instant Pot Garlic & Onion Green Beans is! I probably make this recipe at least once a week in my home. It’s easy and delicious and takes minimal effort on my part. I love my Instant Pot and love an easy side that I can pop in and know it will be done within 10 minutes time. My husband is very particular when it comes to vegetables. He does not like them Al-dente. He would rather them be cooked to death. You can definitely do that in the Instant Pot; however, you can cook them al-dente or just soft enough which is why I’m really starting to embrace my Instant Pot when it comes to vegetable side dishes.

How do you make Instant Pot Garlic & Onion Green Beans?
Making green beans in the Instant Pot is very simple. Place the seasonings, green beans, and water in the IP. Set the IP for just 2 minutes… it will; however, take a few minutes to get to pressure. Once the Instant Pot beeps, carefully release the steam by forcing the “pressure”. That’s it! Easy as that you have a simple side dish in under 10 minutes.
To cut prep time I use both dehydrated garlic and minced chopped onions in this recipe. If you don’t have them in your pantry or prefer to use fresh you will add a few minutes on to the prep time.
I also really like using pre-cut, pre-washed green beans. That way all I have to do is open the bag and dump it into the Instant Pot! I’m super lazy and most days just trying to get dinner on the table before my children eat every snack in my pantry before dinner.
