Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes

Compote

  • 1 pint blueberries
  • tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp sugar or sweetener of choice
  • Pinch of salt
  • tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp chia seeds (optional)

Topping Options

  • vegan yogurt or whipped coconut cream
  • Vegan granola, seeds, and/or nuts of choice

Instructions

  • Pour 11/2 cups (355 ml) of water into the Instant Pot.
  • Scrub the sweet potatoes and prick each a couple of times with a fork or knife. Lower a trivet into the Instant Pot and place the sweet potatoes on the trivet.
  • For the blueberry compote, combine all the compote ingredients, except the chia seeds, in a stainless-steel or glass pot that fits into your Instant Pot and mix well. Place the pot on top of the sweet potatoes. Cover with foil.
  • Lock the lid into place, set the Pressure Release Knob to Sealing, select the Pressure Cook/Manual setting at high pressure, and set the cook time to 14 to 22 minutes. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of your sweet potatoes: If they are 2 inches (5 cm) wide or smaller, cook for 14 minutes; if they are 2 1/2 to 3 inches (6.5 to 7.5 cm) wide, cook them for 16 to 18 minutes. If they are larger, cook them for up to 22 minutes.
  • Once the cooking cycle is done, let the pressure release naturally. Open the lid and, using silicone mini mitts, carefully remove the pot with the blueberry compote. Use a spoon to mix and mash a few of the blueberries to thicken it up. The compote will continue to thicken as it cools. If, after cooling a bit, the compote is still too thin, stir in the 2 teaspoons of chia seeds and let sit for about 15 minutes to thicken up.
  • Remove the sweet potatoes from the Instant Pot and let them cool a bit, then use a fork to slightly mash them in their skins and slice them.
  • Top the sweet potatoes with the compote and your choice of toppings and serve.
