Use a wide pan so they cook quickly without getting soggy.
Stir the veggies frequently so they cook evenly.
Avoid cooking it for too long as overcooking can make them mushy.
When pan cooking frozen vegetables, don't cover the pan to avoid trapped steam making them soggy. The ice from the veggies is usually enough to steam and cook the veggies.
You can add herbs like parsley, thyme, dill, and rosemary.
Leftovers can be used in omelets, frittata, soups, and curries.
