Ingredients
- 6 medium beets

Instructions
- Clean beets to remove any dirt or dust. Cut off and discard roots and stems.
- Place a rack into the bottom of a 6 Qt instant pot and add 1 cup water. Place beets over the rack in a single layer, cover with the lid and set the valve to the “sealing” position.
