How to store leftover side dishes

These vegetable side dish recipes are simple enough so you can prep and cut the veggies and store them in an airtight container in your refrigerator until you’re ready to cook them.

When storing leftovers, simply put the vegetables in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. You can also freeze most of these recipes for up to 3 months.

To reheat, place any side dish leftovers in your oven, covered with foil at 300ºF for 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also use the stovetop over medium-low heat. Microwave is ok, but it tends to make the veggies soggy after reheating.
