Storage Tips

Fridge: Allow the cooked vegetables to cool down to room temperature before storing them, then transfer the vegetables to anairtight containeror a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate 3-4 days.

Freezer: While I don’t recommend freezing these leftover vegetables as they will lose their texture and some flavor, they may be frozen up to 3 months after cooling and storing in anairtight container.

Reheat: When ready to enjoy the leftovers, reheat them in a hot-skillet with a little oil or microwave until heated through. It’s important to note that reheated vegetables may not retain the same crispness as when freshly cooked, but they will still be delicious.
