To prepare frozen baby lima beans, you can typically cook them directly from frozen. They can be boiled on the stovetop until tender, usually for about 5 to 10 minutes. Alternatively, they can be steamed or added to simmering dishes where they will cook through. Avoid overcooking, as this can make them mushy. They absorb flavors well, so consider seasoning them with herbs, spices, or a touch of butter.
