Commonly Asked Questions

What is a good seasoning for mixed vegetables?

You can add various herbs and spices in this California mix such as oregano, basil, parsley, thyme, rosemary, tarragon, and dill. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves will also make a great addition. The best thing to do is research what works well together.

Do vegetables lose nutrients when cooked?

The truth is that all forms of cooking can potentially destroy some of the vegetables’ nutrients. But the upside to this is cooking can also activate the release of nutrients from the cell wall of the plants. Hence, there is no need to worry about them being less healthy when cooked.

How do you cook frozen vegetables without getting soggy?

If you’ll be using frozen veggies for this recipe, preventing them from getting soggy can be a problem. So to avoid it, first, we suggest not thawing them and preparing them directly as they are. Another thing to avoid is boiling it for long periods of time because not only does it become soggy, it also strips off nutrients and ruins the taste. Another tip is to microwave the vegetables in a dish without water for around 4 to 5 minutes to make them crunchy.
