Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 16 ounce bag of frozen mixed vegetables (green beans, carrots, peas)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • 1-2 teaspoon(s) seasoning(s) of choice
  • Optional: parmesan cheese, lemon juice

Instructions 

Saute

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add butter or oil. Add frozen mixed vegetables and cover the pan to create steam. Cook for 4-5 minutes or so until the veggies are cooked through and tender.
  • Add seasoning(s) of choice and extra add-ins like parmesan cheese, lemon juice, soy sauce, balsamic, etc.

Steam

  • Place water in a pot (the surface of the water should be below the basket), add steamer basket, and bring to a boil. Add the frozen veggies, cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 4-6 minutes, until tender. Transfer to a bowl and toss with butter and seasoning(s) and lemon juice.

Roast

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up.
  • Add the frozen veggies to the baking sheet. Add olive oil and seasoning of choice to the corn and stir to coat evenly. Spread out in single layer, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Place in the oven and roast for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor. Place back in the oven and roast for another 8-10 minutes, until the vegetables are golden brown on the edges.

Notes

  • Do NOT boil or thaw the mixed veggies prior to cooking! You will most likely end up with mushy veggies.
  • Season well - just like with fresh vegetables, make them taste good by adding herbs, spices, and favorite condiments.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan - when sauteing or roasting, spread the vegetables out on the pan.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
