To begin making Instant Pot Pork Roast with Baby Carrots and Potatoes I brushed mustard all over the roast and sprinkling salt and pepper on it as well.  

For this recipe I used a pork loin roast that was just over 2lbs.

Covering roast with mustard.

I turned the Instant Pot on to Saute normal and when it was heated I quickly browned all sides of the roast.

When browned I removed the pork roast to a plate and added 2 cups of water to the Instant Pot.

I used a wooden scraper to remove the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.

When finished I pushed the cancel button on the Instant Pot.

I then added the trivet to the Instant Pot, returned the roast and surrounded the roast with baby carrots.  

How many carrots you add will depend on the number of people you are serving.

I also added a bag of small potatoes.  I chose red potatoes for colour this time.  

Then I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for 18 minutes.

After the 18 minutes of cooking was complete I allowed it to do a Natural Release for 15 minutes before turning the steam release handle to the venting position.

I removed the lid from the Instant Pot.

I carefully removed the roast, potatoes, carrots and the trivet.

I reserved some of the liquid in the pot and added gluten free pork gravy mix to the reserved liquid. 

Press the saute button to the normal setting and stir until the gravy thickens

Once the gravy has thickened you can hit cancel or use the keep warm function.
