What you need
Steps
Preheat the oven to 450F (230C). Put a rack in the middle position so the pan gets even heat.
Open the bag and break up any large frozen chunks with your hands or by tapping the bag on the counter.
Spread the frozen vegetables on the sheet pan and drizzle them with olive oil.
Sprinkle on your seasoning, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder or dried herbs.
Toss everything with your hands or a spatula until each piece is lightly coated in oil and seasoning.
Spread the vegetables into a single layer on the pan. Leave space between pieces so they roast instead of steam.
Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges are browned and the vegetables are crispy.
Pull the pan out, taste one piece and add more salt if needed. Serve hot as a side dish.
Tips and common mistakes
Do not crowd the pan; use two pans if the vegetables pile up, or they will turn soft.
Keep the vegetables frozen until they go in the oven so they stay firm and crisp up.
Parchment paper makes cleanup easier but can slow browning slightly, so skip it if you want extra crunch.
Check at 20 minutes, since smaller pieces like peas and corn cook faster than broccoli or carrots.
Questions
Do I need to thaw the frozen vegetables first?
No. Put them in the oven straight from the freezer. Thawing makes them release water and steam instead of roasting.
What temperature and time should I use?
Set the oven to 450F and roast for 20 to 25 minutes. Check early if your pieces are small.
Can I roast any frozen vegetable this way?
Yes, broccoli, peas, carrots, corn and mixes all work. Cut or break up large chunks so everything cooks evenly.
