All three varieties taste great and cook up fast. In fact, Green Giant® Riced Veggies cook on the stovetop in under 10 minutes. Serve as a quick and easy side dish or use them in any of your favorite recipes.

I decided to try my hand using them for one of my favorite things…risotto!

Risotto is typically pretty time consuming and generally not a healthy option. BUT, my version is quick and dials up the nutrition because you are replacing the rice with 100% veggies! Plus as you can see, there aren’t a ton of ingredients needed to create a meal with big flavor.

I used the Green Pea and Chickpea Cauliflower Blend for my recipe but you can use any variety that you’d like. Try it out and let me know what you think!
