Rich, deeply savory, and built on nothing but honest ingredients, this bone broth is the kind of kitchen project that pays dividends all week long. Roasting the bones first at high heat is the secret move here — it drives out deep, caramelized flavor before a single drop of water hits the pot. The pressure cooker then does the heavy lifting, pulling collagen and minerals from the bones in a fraction of the time a stovetop simmer would take. Apple cider vinegar helps coax out those nutrients, while carrots, celery, onion, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns round everything out into something that smells absolutely incredible. Many store-bought broths and seasoning blends sneak in warming spices you may be trying to avoid, but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. No mystery blends, no hidden aromatics — just whole vegetables, bones, and pantry staples you can see and control. Once chilled, a properly made batch will gel into a soft, wobbly consistency that tells you the collagen extraction worked exactly as it should. Use it as a base for soups, braise your favorite proteins in it, or just warm a mug of it on a cold afternoon — it's that good on its own.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the bones in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 30–35 minutes, turning once halfway through, until deeply browned on all sides.
Transfer the roasted bones to the pressure cooker. Add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, apple cider vinegar, bay leaves, peppercorns, salt, and parsley (if using). Pour in the cold water — the liquid should reach no higher than the pressure cooker's max-fill line; add or reduce water as needed.
