Recipe Tips
- You don’t need to thaw the vegetables first. Just cook them straight from the freezer.
- Make sure the pan is preheated before cooking. Hot pans help crisp up frozen Costco Normandy Vegetables quickly by allowing them to cook faster. Roasting from frozen keeps their body and texture. For the best results, do not cook frozen vegetables below 450F.
- During the transfer of the vegetables to the hot pan, you may hear some sizzling and see some grease splatter. Avoid leaning over the hot sheet pan and use oven mitts.
- Do not line the pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. To achieve optimal browning, you want the hot pan to vegetable contact.
- When choosing frozen vegetables, choose ones that are similar in size or of the same kind.
- You can add additional seasonings, along with salt and pepper, if you like, such as minced garlic or garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, or any herb you think might enhance the taste.
- Coat in oil. Although they are frozen, use as much olive oil or avocado oil as you can to crisp them up. Make sure you use more than you would for fresh vegetables.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pan. As they have a lot of moisture, they will release more moisture, so you should keep space between the vegetables.
