How To Roast Frozen Vegetables

Frozen foods can make our lives so much easier when we’re exhausted or too busy to cook. However, when we want to roast vegetables many of us choose fresh instead of frozen ones because the latter always turn out sad and mushy.

But have you ever considered that maybe you just cook your veggies the wrong way? This easy three-step method shows that frozen vegetables can be not only convenient and affordable but also super delicious and crispy.

How To Roast Frozen Vegetables

Follow these 3 simple rules and you’ll get perfect results every time.

Always Preheat Your Baking Sheet With Fat

The first trick for perfectly crispy vegetables is that you should first preheat the sheet in the oven with some oil and only then toss the frozen veggies onto it. This way the food immediately defrosts and starts cooking. After that, you can place the veggies in the oven to roast.

Hot Oven Is a Must

High heat helps to get rid of any excess moisture on frozen veggies. This way you’ll get a nice caramelization.

Don’t Spare the Oil

It’s important not only to place the vegetables on a hot baking sheet with oil but also to evenly coat them in oil before you do that. Use 1 or 2 tablespoons of any vegetable oil.

When your veggies are cooked, don’t forget to season them with salt and pepper to add some extra flavor.

Like many people nowadays, I love to explore new places. My favorite type is slow travelling, when you can really blend in with locals and learn about new cultures and languages. But I think there are also perfect times for enjoying freshly baked pastry, a cup of fragrant coffee, and a good movie in the comfort of your own home. I guess I'm kind of a cultural omnivore, and I watch different types of movies, but the ones about art and food inspire me the most!
