How Long To Saute Broccoli Florets?

The advantage of using an instant pot to saute broccoli or any vegetables is that you can make it really quickly.

I only had to saute the broccoli for about 5 minutes once the instant pot was hot and ready to do the sauteing.

This is much easier than sauteeing the broccoli on stove top in my opinion.

But if you are sauteeing the broccoli on stove top, I recommend using a good quality large sized frying pan or skillet where you can easily saute the broccoli florets in about 8 to 10 minutes of cooking time as well.

This delicious stir fried or sauteed broccoli makes a great vegetarian/vegan side which can be enjoyed with rice for lunch or dinner or you can enjoy this as a delicious, healthy snack.

Spices & Herbs For Flavoring

I only used minimal spices and it was delicious, however you may also add more spices and experiment with flavors if you wish.

I highly recommend using garlic powder and black pepper powder as called in the recipe, as the garlic sauteed broccoli with black pepper is so delicious and flavorful.

You can add more spices or herbs like onion powder, turmeric, curry powder, garam masala etc to add some exotic flavors to your sauteed broccoli if you wish.

How To Make Sauteed Broccoli In Instant Pot

Ingredients to make sauteed broccoli

1 broccoli head medium sized

1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

2 tablespoons oil

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon black pepper powder

Step By Step Instructions

Wash the broccoli and separate the florets. You may cut the florets a little, but do not cut it very small as we need slightly medium sized florets to make the crunchy, delicious sauteed or stir fried broccoli.

Press saute button in instant pot and add the oil.

Once the oil is hot (about half a minute), carefully add the broccoli florets also to the instant pot.

Add salt and saute the broccoli until the broccoli starts to turn brown, stirring occasionally using a long spatula. This took about 5 minutes for me, you may need to watch after 4 minutes.

If you need to adjust the heating, you can press on the saute button again in instant pot duo (usually it will be set to ‘normal’ which is the preferred mode) to change between low, normal & high sauteeing modes. In instant pot Lux, you can use the ‘adjust’ button to change this. I only used the ‘normal’ sauteeing mode for sauteeing the broccoli florets.

Once the broccoli is sauteed, press cancel button to stop sauteeing, add garlic powder and black pepper powder, stir well.

Transfer the sauteed broccoli from the instant pot to serving dish or another safe plate or bowl immediately, to avoid further cooking.
