Peanut Free Pressure Cooker Bone Broth
Rich, deeply savory bone broth is one of those kitchen staples that makes everything it touches taste better — from soups and stews to simple sipping straight from a mug. The secret to this version's incredible depth starts in the oven, where the bones roast until they're dark and caramelized before a single drop of water is added. That step alone transforms the finished broth from pale and flat to something genuinely complex and restaurant-worthy. The pressure cooker then does the heavy lifting, coaxing out collagen and marrow in a fraction of the time a stovetop simmer would take, and that signature gel when it chills in the fridge is your sign that it worked. Aromatics like garlic, onion, carrot, celery, and a splash of apple cider vinegar round out the flavor and help pull minerals from the bones during cooking. Store-bought broths can be a minefield of additives and shared-facility concerns, so making your own means you know exactly what went in — just real, whole ingredients and nothing else. Batch it up, freeze it in portions, and you'll have a clean, nourishing base ready to go whenever you need it.

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.
