- Cook all the vegetables in a steamer for around 25 minutes. Check in every now and then as cooking times can vary depending on your steamer and you don't want to overcook them, especially potatoes.

Notes
*I choose frozen vegetables, but if you prefer or have fresh ones the cooking time can vary. Cooking times for fresh produce is likely to be less than frozen ones.
