To prepare, you can often cook these vegetables directly from frozen. They can be steamed, boiled, or sautéed until tender.

They are excellent when added to simmering soups or stews during the last few minutes of cooking, or incorporated into rice pilafs and pasta dishes. They can also be a quick and simple side dish, served alongside your main course.
