You guys know that I am a BIG FAN of meals with simple ingredients, especially if I can just pour them all into my Instant Pot. This recipe for Instant Pot BBQ Lentils only calls for 3 main ingredients, and it couldn’t be easier to make. If you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, this recipe is definitely for you! It’s so tasty, satisfying, and makes great leftovers!
Feel free to use whatever lentils you have on-hand as well as your favorite brand of BBQ sauce. I always check the ingredients in my sauces because they can be sneakily filled with all sorts of corn syrups and funky ingredients – so just a quick PSA to read your food labels! You will definitely see these lentils pop up again on the blog in the near future!

This sounds delicious! Would I be able to make these in a crock pot, just up the time cooking? I’m probably the only person not on the instant put bandwagon yet!
I think it’d work! 🙂
Thanks for the vegan recipe!

This recipe did not work for me. It came out very watery. I had to put it on the stove and simmer the water out and add more sauce. I feel the sauce added during cooking was wasted. Maybe this would work as a side but I was making barbecue lentil sandwiches.

Sorry to hear that. The recipe is actually suppose to be made in an instant pot.
