These Instant Pot Asian Pickled Beets are refreshing served straight from the fridge.

They are easy to make and infused with ginger and star anise to give them an extra burst of flavor.

Beet Lover or Beet Hater?

I love beets in all their forms, but especially pickled. If you have beet haters in your house try introducing them to pickled beets first.

The vinegar, ginger, lemon peel and star anise will cover some of the “dirt” taste of the beets. They just taste earthy to me but Cheryl thinks they taste like dirt.

But even she eats my Instant Pot Quick Pickled Beets and these Instant Pot Asian Pickled Beets!

How Can I Make Pickled Beets Without Canning?

These Asian Pickled Beets Are Quick Pickled. What that means is that they are NOT shelf stable and need to be stored in the fridge.

It also means that you can eat them as soon as you make them! I like to eat them chilled the best, but use some fresh out of the Instant Pot for a side or on a salad.

Hate Peeling Beets?

First you could try cooking beets whole in your Instant Pot. Then you can peel them, cut and add to the marinade instead of cooking in the marinade.

If you hate it because your hands get stained red, try coating your non-knife holding hand with cooking oil. That will help it not stain and be easier to wash off.

You can also cut a potato in half and rub it on your hands when washing after you cut up the beets.

Finally, you can use gloves and avoid getting the beet juice on your hands at all!

What Do Pickled Beets Taste Like?

I think they have an earthy sweet taste. In this recipe they are lightly flavored with lemon zest, ginger, and star anise.

They also have a tang from the combination of rice vinegar. I think they are refreshing and perfect on salads.

How Long Do Instant Pot Asian Pickled Beets Last?

These are quick pickled beets, so you have to store them in the fridge. They will last up to 2 weeks in your fridge, but chances are they won’t last that long!

    I bought a box of organic red beets, whole, peeled cooked and ready to eat in 3 bags from Costco. Could I replace the beets in the recipe for these pre-cooked beets? I’m very new to IP, so was thinking just bring it to pressure with 0 minutes or just a few minutes since they are already cooked. Let me know your thoughts. thanks šŸ™‚

      In theory that should work. Basically you are trying to infuse the beets with the flavors.
