Instant Pot Pork Roast with Potatoes & Vegetables

Turn on the Instant Pot and select the sauté function.

Add a couple of tablespoons of grapeseed oil and let it heat up.

Combine spices: rosemary, garlic powder, basil, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Cut up 4 medium-sized potatoes and 1 large onion, quartering them.

Optionally, prepare other vegetables like carrots or celery according to taste.

Cut a 4 pound pork roast into smaller pieces to shorten cook time.

Add the pork roast pieces to the pot.

Sprinkle the combined spices over the pork roast.

Add 2 cups of chicken broth to the pot.

Deglaze the bottom of the pot by scraping the pieces off.

Stir the ingredients to mix them better.

Ensure the vent is set to sealed.

Set the Instant Pot to cook for 40 minutes, keeping in mind the timing of 15 minutes per pound if cooking whole.

After cooking, allow for a natural release for 11 minutes.

Flip the vent to release the remaining steam.

Check that the meat is falling apart and dish it up for tasting.
