101 Instant Pot Paleo Recipes

101 Instant Pot Paleo Recipes has been a long time coming. I am a HUGE fan of the Paleo diet and recipes adapted for Paleo, yet I have not created a list of the best Instant Pot Paleo Recipes until now. Drum roll please….I now have 101 beginner Instant Pot Paleo Recipes for you to try out.

I am an Instant Pot Junkie. I am also a Paleo addict. The two just belong together like salt and pepper. Whenever I fall off the Paleo bandwagon, I feel terrible. It is like my body goes into shutdown mode. I always suffer from a bloated stomach and look heavily pregnant and lose all the energy that the Paleo way of life gives me.

But its January and I am back in the Paleo spirit after my Christmas binge and it is so nice to be back.

What Is Paleo?

But first, you must be wondering what Paleo is and how it fits in with healthy Instant Pot Cooking? Well the infographic above explains Paleo very well. Basically, it’s a healthy diet that is free of grains, beans, dairy, processed foods, most alcohol, white potatoes and most sugars.

Instead you eat meals that are loaded with vegetables, use healthy flour substitutes, such as Bobs Red Mill, use honey and maple syrup as your natural sugar source and eat quality organic meat. For example getting your meat from Butcher Box. As well as this healthy fats like extra virgin olive oil are regularly used in cooking.

To replace cream and milk, it is normal to use coconut milk instead and this often gives a much better flavour to your cooking.

Processed foods become something that you used to do, and you get your carbs naturally through root vegetables and other foods. I would never call Paleo low carb because with carrots and butternut squash used so frequently it never feels low carb.

There are so many ways where you can make Paleo recipes in the Instant Pot and I believe the Instant Pot, alongside the Air Fryer are the perfect way to eat healthy with your kitchen gadgets.

Below you will find 101 Instant Pot Paleo Recipes to get you started:

Instant Pot Paleo Vegetables

I am kicking off my Instant Pot Paleo Recipes with Instant Pot Vegetables. All easy to throw in the Instant Pot and steam, while you cook your meat elsewhere. It is also a very simple way to get into your Instant Pot, without feeling overwhelmed by it.

Instant Pot Butternut Squash has to be the best ever vegetable to cook in the Instant Pot. It works as a fantastic alternative to the trusted white potato. You slice it in half, cook it as it is and season it with whatever you like. It’s a true genius.

Here are a few other Instant Pot Vegetables to get excited about:

Or I love a baked potato in the Instant Pot. They cook a LOT quicker in the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker than the oven and taste amazing. But if you’re on Paleo white potatoes are OUT, so why not use sweet potatoes instead? Here is my Instant Pot No Peel Baked Sweet Potatoes and after you have tried this I would whole heartedly recommend Instant Pot Mashed Sweet Potatoes.

Instant Pot Paleo Fish & Seafood Recipes

I am ashamed to say, as someone that lives on the Mediterranean, that I do not eat as much fish and seafood as I would like to. Growing up as a fisherman’s granddaughter, we got it all the time for FREE. Now the thought of paying for it, puts us right off, so we rarely buy it.

Here is our small collection of fish and seafood Instant Pot Recipes:
