Crunchy with crisp vegetables and nutty sunflower kernels, they're a fast-to-fix lunch when you're on the go. -Linda Reeves, Cloverdale, Indiana

Tips for Making Perfect Pocket Veggies:

Choose the right vegetables: Not all vegetables are suitable for making pocket veggies. Choose vegetables that are firm enough to hold their shape when cooked, such as bell peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, and mushrooms.
Prepare the vegetables properly: Before cooking, wash and cut the vegetables into desired shapes and sizes. Make sure the vegetables are of uniform thickness so that they cook evenly.
Use a variety of fillings: The possibilities for fillings are endless. You can use anything from cooked rice and beans to grilled chicken or tofu. Get creative and experiment with different flavors and textures.
Cook the vegetables until tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of vegetables you are using. Cook the vegetables until they are tender but still slightly firm. Overcooking will make them mushy.
Serve immediately: Pocket veggies are best served immediately after cooking. They can be eaten as an appetizer, main course, or side dish.

Conclusion:

Pocket veggies are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and they can be customized to suit your own taste preferences. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations of pocket veggies that will keep you coming back for more. So next time you need a quick and easy meal, give pocket veggies a try.
