    Place the carrots, onion, celery, garlic, peppercorns, salt, thyme, and rosemary in a multi-functional pressure cooker, such as an Instant Pot. Add enough water to cover. Close and lock the lid. Choose high pressure per the manufacturer's directions and set the timer for 30 minutes. Allow 25 minutes for the pressure to build.

    Release the pressure using the natural-release method as directed by the manufacturer, about 30 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

    Let the broth stand for 20 minutes to cool. Strain the liquid and discard all solids. Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
