- ounces fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 3 3
- cups broccoli florets
- 1 1
- cup thinly sliced carrots (2 medium)

Preparation
Step 1
In a 6-quart pot cook green beans, broccoli, and carrots in enough boiling water to cover for 2 minutes. Drain vegetables; immediately transfer to an extra-large bowl of ice water. Let stand until chilled. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to a paper towel-lined tray and pat dry.
Line two 15x10x1-inch baking pans with parchment paper or foil. In the prepared pans combine drained vegetables, sweet peppers, and onion and spread in even layers. Freeze about 1 hour or until nearly firm.
Spoon about 2 1/2 cups vegetables into each of four quart-size freezer bags. Squeeze air from bag. Seal and label. Freeze for up to 6 months.
**In a large skillet heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium heat. Add frozen vegetables; cook about 5 minutes or until heated through, stirring constantly.
