Zucchini Noodle Pho 

from Eating Instantly

This delightfully comforting soup takes about four minutes to cook in your Instant Pot. It’s also gluten-free and easily made vegetarian if you don’t add meat.

Cauliflower Chowder 

from Damn Delicious

In this low-carb version of a chowder, cauliflower is the star, with celery and carrots (which you can leave out if you’re a low-carb purist) in the supporting role.

Orange Chicken Lettuce Wraps

This recipe doubles as an appetizer or a light dinner. The Instant Pot does most of the work — all you have to do is wrap up the pieces in your favorite leafy green and enjoy.

Eggplant Lasagna 

from Well Plated

This lasagna version has a low-carb, healthy twist: strips of eggplant in place of pasta. (You do need to quickly grill or broil the eggplant before adding the layered ingredients to your Instant Pot.)

Coconut Lime Chicken 

from A Saucy Kitchen

This recipe will probably come as a relief to low-carb eaters who are getting bored with chicken dinners. The sauce is tangy, slightly spicy, and, best of all, it’s dairy-free.

Pork Ragu with Zoodles 

from Skinny Taste

Swapping pasta noodles for spiralized zucchini has two upsides: You lower your carb count and get a full serving of vegetables.
