Notes
Storage Tips – Once cooked and cooled, store in an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. The texture of some of the vegetables might change slightly once thawed. To reheat, let frozen leftovers thaw in the fridge overnight. Warm individual portions in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir, and continue to heat in 30-second intervals until your desired temperature is reached. Reheat larger portions by placing them in a skillet over medium heat. Let them cook, stirring frequently until heated through.
