Yes, you can do oven roasted vegetables and cheese using frozen vegetables. I live 30 minutes from the closest store and running into town to the grocery store is not always economical. Therefore, I need to have a full pantry and freezer.

Easy Weeknight Side Dish
Oven roasted vegetables are the perfect weeknight side dish for many meals. When you have them on hand; even in the freezer, they cook up quickly and taste delicious. This recipe requires very little preparation.
Let the oven do the work for you.
Roasted Frozen Vegetables
Often, I arrive home from work at 6:30-7:00 pm. The family is hungry and I am tired. As moms, we want to serve our family homemade meals that are healthy and taste good too. This is one of those go-to side dishes that satisfy everyone. If there exists an easier weeknight side than roasted vegetables made using frozen vegetables, I’d love to hear about it. If I have the fresh vegetables, I will use that too. However, that is even more work as it has to be washed , dried, and chopped. If I start from frozen, I need to cut open the bag and I am ready to start my recipe.

Change up the Flavors of Roasted Vegetables
Cheese is optional. So is the types of cheese that you use. Change up the type of cheese combinations that you use to bring out different flavors of the vegetables. The cheese is optional. Oven roasted veggies are delicious on their own. However, we live in Wisconsin – need I say more about cheese?
Try various types of vegetable combinations – find your favorite. This recipe is made from the California Blend. Broccoli and cauliflower are always a hit. Then there is the Italian Blend Vegetables another vegetable variation that includes snap peas and peppers too.
