Toss with olive oil or butter if desired. Season with salt, pepper, and any fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.
Serve:
Serve as a side dish or mix into salads or grain bowls.
These methods will help you make the most of your frozen California blend vegetables, turning them into tasty and nutritious components of your meals. Each technique enhances the vegetables in its own way, allowing you to enjoy their full flavor and texture.
