These gluten-free Instant Pot recipes can be made in any brand of electric pressure cooker. These amazing breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert recipes are packed with flavor and feature a variety of cuisines to make sure you’re eating gluten free and are never bored at mealtime!

I frequently get requests for gluten-free recipes for the Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker. While I don’t eat gluten-free, I have friends and family who do.

Making food from scratch is a great way to ensure your food is gluten free. Plus, when you make gluten-free food in your Instant Pot or other brand or electric pressure cooker, you save a ton of money compared to packaged gluten-free foods.

I’ve put together a list of over 30 of my favorite gluten-free recipes. I included recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert, both from my website and from some of my Instant Pot friends to ensure you’ll never get bored eating gluten-free.

Those of you who eat gluten free likely already know most of this information. However, if you don’t regularly cook gluten-free meals and want to cook for friends or family members who eat a gluten-free diet, there are a few things you’ll need to know before you get started.

Make sure the ingredients you’re using are gluten-free. You’d be amazed at the number of ingredients and foods that aren’t gluten free–ice cream, soy sauce, and even spice mixes can contain gluten. So ask the friends and family you’re cooking for about recommendations for preferred brands. (For example, organic broths are more likely to be gluten-free than conventional broths and stocks.)

In this roundup, I’ve tried to feature recipes where there are readily available gluten-free ingredients.

Do you eat gluten-free and have any ingredient recommendations? How do you incorporate your pressure cooker into your gluten-free diet? Let me know in the comments!

Asopado (also spelled "Asopao") brings a bright, fresh flavor to your gluten-free diet.
