Steamed frozen vegetables are a great healthy way to enjoy more vegetables at mealtime. Cooking frozen veggies is easy and when done in the steamer, they come out tender and delicious. Plus the nutrients are retained a lot more than when boiling. This is hands down the best way to cook any kind of frozen vegetable.

Instructions
Grab a pot that has a lid plus your steamer basket or insert. Begin by placing 2-3 inches of water at the bottom of your medium or large pot.
Place the pot on your stove and turn the burner to high to bring it to a boil.
Once the water is boiling, carefully place a steaming basket or insert in the pot. Make sure that the basket is above the boiling water. Remove excess water if necessary.
Once ready, slowly pour in the number of frozen vegetables you are steaming. Turn the heat down to low. I like to turn it to 3 on my stove. Lastly, cover the pot with the lid.
Use the guide above to steam for the number of minutes recommended. Do not go too far away since they can cook fast, between 2 - 10 minutes.
Watch them carefully as they can cook fast. Once they are fork-tender and cooked to your liking, turn the heat off. Gently spoon out the vegetables into a serving bowl or plate for dinner.
