You can cook this vegetable blend directly from frozen. For a quick side dish, sauté the vegetables in a pan with a little oil or butter until tender-crisp. They can also be added to simmering soups or stews, allowing them to cook through in the liquid. For stir-fries, add them towards the end of cooking to maintain their texture. Ensure they are heated thoroughly before serving.
