Here's a few ideas:

- lemon or lime zest

- browned butter

- melted butter and some dill weed

- salt & pepper

- stir fry them in some olive oil & garlic finishing off w/ a splash of
Tamari or sesame oil

A ginger sauce would complement all three of those. Grate a knob of
peeled ginger, then squeeze with your fingers to extract the juice
into a small dish. Or squeeze the gratings in a garlic press. Then
mix together:
1/4 cup chicken stock
1-1/2 teaspoons Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
1 teaspoon ginger juice
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon sugar
Stir to dissolve cornstarch completely, set aside.

Heat a pan or wok over high heat, add a teaspoon or two of oil, add a
couple slices of fresh ginger, and then the frozen veggies. Cook
until the veggies are hot all the way through, and remove the ginger
slices. Then push the veggies away from the center of the pan and
pour in the broth mixture Stir it until it begins to thicken, then
mix it through all the veggies and serve immediately. -aem

Or... make a veggie pizza. Buy a pizza crust, add some tomato or white
sauce, break the veggies into bits and add, sprinkle in a melty cheese and
bake.

Or not.
