I use this recipe with frozen green beans. Add 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning to the recipe and only 1/2 the pepper it calls for. Last 5 minutes of baking sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese on top. So yummy!
Wow I was surprised how well these turned out for frozen veggies. I did preheat my pan with the oven before putting the frozen veggies on pan. Followed everything else exactly i.e. spices and amounts and oven temp. Thank you.
Very tasty and different
This is an excellent, quick recipe. Only complaint was waaayy too much pepper! A misprint perhaps?
Definitely not everyone loves pepper! You can always use less 🙂
When I tell you, these are the best vegetables I’ve had in my entire life, and even that is giving no justice to how they actually taste. I made them for a group of teenage boys and even they ate multiple servings. My son ate one serving but said ma you did that. Mind you he doesn’t like vegetables, so THANK YOU 1000%
Love to hear that! So glad it was a hit with your family!
I’m wondering if I could use melted butter in place of the oil? Or maybe half and half ( oil and butter?) And I like them crisp tender…but not ” charred” to death ( as in browning too fast with butter)ha. I love butter on my veggies!
I think that would work fine!
To prevent mushiness, preheat the sheet as you preheat the oven.
