Delicious healthy electric pressure cooker recipes are on their way! It’s possible to make amazingly healthy Instant Pot or Ninja Foodi dinners on a regular basis. Even your kids will love these healthy meals.
If you’re looking for some healthy electric pressure cooker recipes I have a bunch to choose from! What amazes me and makes it easier to cook from scratch using my pressure cooker is that I can make tender beans from dry beans in about 30 minutes. Add a bit of broth, vegetables and maybe some leftover ham and I have myself a meal we have all loved. Included in our LONG list of Instant Pot recipes! (originally published 5/18, affiliate links present) – We started compiling healthier meals with this Instant Pot chicken recipes roundup. Once we got our new pressure cooker AND air fryer we added more Ninja Foodi chicken recipes to our website and kept going from there.
This healthy electric pressure cooker recipes post combines all the recipes we love, but are lower in calories and fat here. Like this pressure cooker ham and beans recipe, many use dry beans and fresh vegetables like our pressure cooker bean soup. It’s so naturally flavorful it really needs little to no seasoning.
For all these healthy electric pressure cooker recipes I use my 6 qt. Instant Pot but a larger version would work as well.
I also have this Ninja Foodi and Mealthy. I use them all depending on the day and the dish I am making.
- Instant Pot barley soup
- Black Eyed Peas and Ham
- TenderInstant Pot Chicken Legs
- This Instant Pot chicken pasta is a family favorite
As many people do I tried to focus this year on eating healthier. I love using my multi cooker so I paired the two and created several healthy Instant Pot recipes we have enjoyed day after day for dinner.

Wondering how do I cook fish in a pressure cooker? It’s way easier than you probably think! We love Instant Pot Fish and Instant Pot tilapia with vegetables because it’s cooked separately but yet together in different compartments. That way the flavors stay to themselves until you put them on your plate. Really accentuates the natural flavors of the fish and all I used was olive oil and a bit of oregano and seasoned salt. Flaky and perfect when done.
