Canned Vegetables 5 Ways
Dips and Spreads
Canned vegetables, blended with canned beans make a quick and easy dip for whole grain crackers or tortilla chips, or cut veggies.
Drain and rinse the canned beans and canned veggies before blending with spices like garlic or onion powder. Add a tablespoon or two of vegetable or olive oil for a smoother texture. Try these combos:
-- Canned, diced tomatoes and garbanzo or navy beans
-- Black beans with canned jalapenos or green chili peppers
-- Canned peas, avocado, garlic
Sheet Pan Meals
Cook chicken, turkey cutlets, or fish on a baking pan. For the final 15-minutes of cooking, add drained, canned vegetables like peas
and carrots, sweet potatoes, diced tomatoes, or lima beans to complete your easy to clean-up meal.
Super Soups and Stews
No time to peel and chop fresh vegetables for soup or stew? Add canned vegetables for great flavor and to stretch meals
farther. Canned tomatoes, canned pumpkin or squash, mixed vegetables, carrots, corn or potatoes are all great add-ins!
Since these veggies are already cooked, just add them in for the final 15 minutes of cooking.
Healthy Toddler Snacks
Little ones can practice using their fingers to pick-up these tasty snacks, one by one. Serve some drained, canned veggies like
diced carrots, cut green beans, and peas to toddlers for a healthy snack. Vegetables are already cut into bite-sized pieces and are soft to chew.
Eggs and Omelettes
Add canned vegetables like spinach, green chilis, jalapenos, and diced tomatoes to scrambled eggs or to make a flavorful
omelet. Sprinkle on low fat, shredded cheese just before serving. Eggs are a low-cost main-dish option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
