  • If it was me i would steam them in a steamer.

    Maybe for about 15 mins then check and put on for longer if needed.

    I would steam them, but would prob take them out of the bag, depending on the type of veg, depends how long it will take, but i expect 10 - 15 mins will be fine, you can always check!!!
