I don’t know about you, but I grew up on pot roast! It was always a once-a-week thing in my house, and I have to admit — I looked forward to it!
Not only would the kitchen fill with rich aromas as the roast cooked, but eating it together as a family was such a special moment.
I love making this Ninja Foodi Pot Roast recipe and also my Mississippi pot roast recipe in my slow cooker to switch things up!
If you’ve visited the blog before, you know that I have a passion for whipping up meals that we all know and love in my air fryer!
It makes cooking dishes that would normally take hours simple and easy, and cuts the cooking time down significantly.
It also means easy cleanup. I especially love my Ninja Foodi as it’s both an air fryer AND a pressure cooker. You can do so much with it.

How to Make Ninja Foodi Pot Roast
A full printable version of this recipe with ingredient measurements is available at the bottom of this post.
STEP ONE: Unwrap your chuck roast and pat dry with a paper towel. Then, sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder. Make sure to coat the meat entirely with the seasonings. Set your Ninja Foodi to the sear setting and allow it to warm for 2 minutes.
STEP TWO: Pour the olive oil into the pressure cooker, then sear the meat for 2 minutes on each side and 1 minute on each edge. Remove the chuck roast, and (keep the setting on sear) pour a bit of the beef broth into the Ninja Foodi. Mix in order to release any remaining seasoning from the liner.
STEP THREE: Place the carrots and potatoes inside the Ninja Foodi, then pour in the rest of the broth on top. Add the meat and set it to pressure in order to cook it for 50 minutes on high. Don’t forget to close the valve.
STEP FOUR: After it’s finished cooking, natural release for about 10 minutes and then quick release. Remove the pot roast and vegetables and change the setting to sear. Bring the remaining broth to a boil. While you wait, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then add it to the boiling broth — this will help to thicken your gravy.
STEP FIVE: Put the meat, carrots, and potatoes back into the pressure cooker in order to combine. Turn off the heat, serve with a salad of your choice, and enjoy!

How Long Do I Cook A Roast In A Pressure Cooker?
Depending on the size of your chuck roast, this Ninja Foodi pot roast with vegetables recipe shouldn’t take more than about an hour to cook.
You’ll have to allow 6 to 8 minutes for searing and then another 50 minutes to cook the meat.
If you’re concerned about undercooking it, keep a meat thermometer on hand. The internal temperature should be at least 145 degrees F.
