Master the Art of Cooking a Delicious Frozen Roast in Your Ninja Foodi

Are you craving a succulent roast for dinner, but forgot to thaw it in advance? No worries! With the versatile Ninja Foodi, you can easily turn a frozen roast into a mouthwatering masterpiece in no time. Whether it’s a beef, pork, or lamb roast, this guide will show you how to cook it perfectly from frozen.

Gather Your Ingredients

Before we dive into the cooking process, it’s important to have all your ingredients and seasonings ready. For your frozen roast, you’ll need:

1. A frozen roast of your choice (beef, pork, or lamb)
2. Seasonings (such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and herbs)
3. Optional vegetables (carrots, potatoes, onions, etc.)
4. Olive oil or cooking spray
5. Broth or water

Set Up Your Ninja Foodi

Start by preparing your Ninja Foodi for cooking:

1. Ensure the Foodi is clean and in good working condition.
2. Attach the pressure cooker lid and make sure it’s properly sealed.
3. Insert the cooking pot into the Foodi.

Season and Sear the Frozen Roast

Now it’s time to add some flavor to your frozen roast:

1. Remove the frozen roast from its packaging and place it on a clean surface.
2. Season the roast generously with your favorite seasonings, ensuring all sides are covered.
3. Preheat your Ninja Foodi on the Sauté setting and add a drizzle of olive oil or use cooking spray.
4. Once the Foodi is hot, carefully sear the roast on all sides until browned. This step will enhance the flavors and lock in the juices.

Add Liquid and Vegetables

Now, let’s add some moisture and extra flavor to your roast:

1. Pour broth or water into the cooking pot, enough to cover the bottom.
2. If desired, add chopped vegetables around the roast, such as carrots, potatoes, and onions, to create a delectable one-pot meal.

Pressure Cook the Roast

It’s time for the Ninja Foodi to work its magic and transform your frozen roast into perfection:

1. Securely close the pressure cooker lid, ensuring the steam release valve is set to “Seal.”
2. Select the “Pressure Cook” setting on your Ninja Foodi and set the cooking time based on the weight and type of roast. As a general guideline, cook beef roasts for 20 minutes per pound, pork roasts for 25 minutes per pound, and lamb roasts for 30 minutes per pound.
3. Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the Ninja Foodi to release pressure naturally for about 15 minutes.
4. Carefully open the steam release valve to release any remaining pressure.

Enjoy Your Tender and Juicy Roast

Patience is a virtue, and it will be rewarded when you take a bite into that tender and juicy roast straight from your Ninja Foodi:

1. Remove the cooked roast from the Ninja Foodi and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
2. Thinly slice the roast against the grain for maximum tenderness.
3. Serve the roast with the cooked vegetables, if included, and enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal.

With the Ninja Foodi, you can turn a frozen roast into a gastronomic delight without spending hours defrosting. So, the next time you forget to thaw your roast, remember these simple steps and let your Ninja Foodi work its magic. Happy cooking!
