Instant Pot Brown Rice
Instant Pot beginners will love making this healthy side dish because it’s super simple and hands-off. This Instant Pot Brown Rice recipe is also gluten-free, vegetarian, and oh-so versatile. The perfect pot of brown rice awaits you with this foolproof method!
It’s going to become super apparent I have a new toy.
My IP, as those in the know call it, has been churning away on my counter since its purchase, and staples like this Instant Pot Brown Rice are the main reason.
If you don’t have an IP yet ( I say yet because I know you’ll be getting one 😉 ), this method was my go-to for stove-top brown rice.
It is also foolproof but requires babysitting.
WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT INSTANT POT BROWN RICE?
Consistency is the key and I love that I can trust when that lid unlocks, my rice is always perfect.
That being said, cooking times can vary.
There is a great group on Facebook of fellow ‘potheads’ that I belong to and there is always discussion on the exact timing of many dishes. The magic is that once you’ve found your sweet spot it never changes.
I’ve made at least twenty pots worth of rice at this point. Perfect every time.
The timing for my brown rice is consistent with the one in the info book provided with the pot, which is 22 minutes.
Using homemade bone broth will elevate the flavor of the rice also.
Will you be seeing a IP bone broth recipe on the Honour System soon? Yes. Yes, you will. 😉
WAYS TO ENJOY BROWN RICE
This recipe is jump-off point. It’s useful to have cooked grains on hand to throw in a salad or as a quick, healthy side dish.
The rice in the photo was drizzled in olive oil, sprinkled with parsley, and eaten alongside some Parmesan Chicken.
We also love serving this rice with entrees that have yummy sauces like this delicious Goan Chicken Vindaloo.
Simple and consistent is the name of the game when staying committed to a healthy lifestyle. Having this prep done simplifies meals throughout the week.

I’d like to see more gluten free recipes on here. Thanks
Hey Marla! We have tons of yummy gluten-free recipes 🙂 Just hit the search bar and type “gluten free”.
Should the IP be on low or high pressure?
Manual – High Pressure. Thanks for pointing that out! I’ll add it to my notes on the recipe. 🙂
