How people cook with it
These seasoned vegetables are perfect for adding flavor and color to weeknight meals. They can be prepared in a variety of ways to complement many dishes.
- As a side dish
- Mixed into pasta
- Topped on pizza
- Stir-fried with chicken
To prepare, simply heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly browned. This usually takes about 8 to 10 minutes. You can also roast them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. For a quicker option, they can be microwaved according to package directions. Adjust cooking time based on your desired level of tenderness.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain frozen vegetables, these are pre-seasoned with a Mediterranean blend, saving you the step of adding your own spices. The vegetables are also typically cut into uniform pieces, ensuring even cooking, and are often flash-frozen to preserve texture and flavor.
