Healthy, rich, and vegan Instant Pot Black Beans made from scratch, minus the fuss of traditional slow cooking. Ready in a snap and no soaking required! I’m sure once you’ve tried it, you’ll forget about the canned ones.

Recipe Ingredients

• Black Beans – learning about its health benefits and nutrition content just made me love these beans more.
• Oil – use your preferred cooking oil to saute onion, garlic, and bell pepper.
• Onion – adds sweetness to the dish when it caramelized during sauteing. Plus it’s rich in vitamin C and potassium, more reasons to love onion! Also, you can check here on how I cut my onion.
• Garlic – I personally love the garlicky aroma it produces while sauteing. It also adds a hint of spiciness to this dish.
• Red and Green Bell Pepper– the contrasting taste of bitterness and sweetness add character and depth to the dish, just how I like them on my pizza.
• Creole Seasoning – my favorite go-to seasoning! A mix of herbs and spices bursting with flavor that’ll totally give your dish a kick of heat.
• Cumin – has an earthy, pungent, and mildly bitter taste but makes any dish flavorful.
• Oregano – is an herb with a pungent smell and taste but creates lovely flavors when added to a dish. It can actually make your dish fancier!
• Salt – the taste of your dish relies on how much you add salt to it. So be careful not to put too much.
• Black Pepper – adds a kick of spiciness and a flavor booster.
• White Pepper – milder than black pepper and it’s more musty and earthy in flavor.
• Water – essential to make these healthy black beans soft.
