How do you cook your frozen vegetables?
I want to start cooking frozen vegetables, but without an overabundance of fat and sodium. How do you prepare yours? I am mostly thinking like green beans and corn, but I’d love to hear other ideas. Canned green beans are getting old and boring (not to mention the sodium content is very high).
Thanks!

i cook frozen vegs in the microwave for about 3 minutes depending on the power of the microwave
If you already have the frozen, NON SALTED veggies. Put some herbs and spices on them and put them into a “tupperware” container, if you want you could poke 4 or 5 holes into it and use it for cooking the veggies only. This goes in the microwave on regular heat for a certain amount of time. It’l steam them and taste really good. If you dont wanna do that, boil them,
i just add enough water to cover the quantity i’m making in a small sauce pan on the stove and boil till done, or i add just a lil water and steam them.
i use all frozen veggies, cept spinach, i use that for dips
oh i use stir fry mixes too, just wok them with a lil teryaki or soy or other flavors
with extra virgin olive oil and fresh garlic bit of salt
I do it two ways..
I buy frozen vegetables ready to steam in the microwave…Under the Bluebird label…in the frozen section of your grocery store.
or..Just buy steam seal bags and put your vegetables there with salt and olive oil…The steam bags are just like zip loc bags and can be found next to the sarahn wrap and alumminun foil
I also like to microwave frozen vegetables. Season them with dried or fresh herbs as desired.
Another tasty way is to roast fresh or frozen vegetables. Spray a jelly roll pan lightly with non stick cooking spray. Place the veggies in a single layer and sprinkle lightly with olive oil. Roast at 350-375 degrees till done. You may add herbs while roasting. If desired, add salt after roasting, not before. My favorite is the mixed blend of vegetables with cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini, yellow squash and carrots all roasted together. yum!!!! I get the mix in huge bags @ Costco.
steaming; I use these bags, much easier.

I toss them in a wok/frying pan with just a little bit of olive oil.
They come out crisp on the outside and moist on the inside, and you can always add whatever spices or sauces you want.
For example, I’m making stir fry veggies tonight, so I’ll cook them in a wok and add just a bit of Asian BBQ sauce to flavor them.
fist put them in the microwave out of the bag with a little water
then put them there for about 1 minute 30 depens on size of bag then cook it.
hope works.
try to stir fry it with a drizzle of some soya sauce,sesame oil and add sesame seeds, you now have an asian style veggie. . .
