Frozen Vegetables Are The Star Of This Recipe, And If You've Never Really Been A Fan, You're About To Be

Using frozen vegetables in your meals is a smart and convenient way to prepare quick, delicious dinners during your hectic week.

However, frozen vegetables seem to have a bad reputation. Many people believe that anything frozen just can’t be healthy for you.

There’s a myth floating around that frozen vegetables are less nutritious than fresh ones when in fact, that isn’t true at all. Sometimes, frozen veggies provide even more nutrients than fresh!

Fresh foods that aren’t in season often lose a lot of their beneficial vitamins, while the nutrients in frozen veggies are kept preserved.

Plus, frozen veggies are more affordable than fresh. And in this economy, it doesn’t hurt to be a little thrifty!

So now that you know frozen veggies aren’t something to avoid, you’ll want to head to the frozen food aisle immediately.

We’ve got an easy recipe idea from TikToker Steph Grasso (@stephgrassodietitian) for a veggie side dish that’ll help out with your dinners.

It’s got a spinach artichoke dip vibe, so if you’re a fan of that, then you’re in luck! Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

-1/2 bag (14 ounces) of frozen white pearl onions

-1 box (8 ounces) of frozen quartered artichoke hearts

-1 box (10 ounces) of frozen chopped spinach

-1/2 cup of frozen sweet peas

-1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream (optional)

-1/4 cup of 2% plain Greek yogurt

-1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese

-Salt and pepper

Directions:

First, follow the cooking instructions for each frozen vegetable except for the sweet peas. Next, sauté the onions and artichokes over medium heat until they become tender. Season them with salt, pepper, and any other seasonings of your choice. Then, add in the spinach, sweet peas, cream, yogurt, and parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese is nicely melted and the peas are soft.

Do you prefer frozen or fresh veggies?
