Rinse and dry before trimming the ends of each stalk.
Pour 1 cup of water into the stainless steel insert of the Instant Pot before placing the trivet or steamer basket inside. Then, carefully arrange the asparagus onto the steamer basket.
Cook on High Pressure for 0 minutes.
Once the pressure cooker reaches pressure, immediately quick release the pressure and carefully remove the lid.
Using tongs, remove from the Instant Pot.
In a separate bowl, drizzle cooked asparagus with extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss and serve.
Notes
It’s extremely important to release pressure immediately (as soon as your Instant Pot beeps after coming to pressure), otherwise you’ll end up with a mushy dish.
