Different vegetables have different cooking times and methods, so whenever you buy frozen vegetables and cook them, it is important to read the label on the packaging first. Reading the label will give you an idea of how long to cook it. Also, whether or not it is necessary to bring frozen vegetables to room temperature first.

When you cook frozen vegetables, avoid overcooking them. Often people make this mistake. Keep in mind that frozen vegetables are blanched before freezing, so they are partially cooked. Over-cooking can damage the flavour, texture, and nutrients of frozen vegetables. The best way is to cook it according to the time mentioned on the packaging. Also, keep checking it in between with the help of a fork.

Not only can you cook frozen vegetables, but you should also know how to store leftover vegetables properly. If you cooked frozen vegetables and they're left over, let them cool down to room temperature first. After that store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can later be reheated and used.
