Gluten-free Instant Pot Ham And Pineapple Rice is a tasty rice dish that has a bit of a Hawaiian feel, It’s both sweet and a little salty. The Instant Pot does the cooking for you, freeing your time to spend with family and making this a go-to gluten-free meal perfect for any busy day.

I have another gluten-free Instant Pot rice dish for you! My youngest has an extended school year and this year there is no school lunch during the summer. So, I’ve been making some different gluten-free meals whose leftovers will store and reheat well. My son loves rice. He also enjoys ham. I decided to make a rice dish that has (in my mind) a sort of Hawaiian feel to it. Preparing this Ham And Pineapple Rice is almost effortless. The Instant Pot does the cooking for you, which results in a tasty rice dish that’s both sweet and a little salty. And those leftovers I mentioned? You’ll be glad to know that the dish reheats nicely in the microwave. Here’s how I make Gluten-free Instant Pot Ham And Pineapple Rice.

You don't list pineapple as an ingredient nor say when to put the ham in! I'm going to use a can of chunk pineapple and cook the ham along with all. I have frozen peppers and onion all ready instead of powders.
It's for an open house gathering.. uses my leftovers and the hostess' son lives in hawaii..I'm bringing my ukulele.

The hame goes in with the rice. Since ham is cooked you could technically add it later but then it's cold and the rice doesn't get any of the salty flavor from the ham juice. I have used both chunked pineapple and rings that I cut into chunks. Crushed doesn't work as well because it really falls apart.

Yes exactly, it's that same feel but a little more subtle than it is on pizza.
