Tips To Transform Day-Old Roasted Vegetables Into Something Legitimately Delicious

February 4, 2021

There are few feelings worse than opening up the fridge, excited about the spoils of your hours spent binge-watching The Bachelor and meal-prepping the night before, only to find that your formerly flawless trays of roasted vegetables are soggy and lifeless. (And therefore that much less exciting or delicious to eat.).

That’s why I offered some tips in this piece of Well+Good to help you breathe new life into your tired, old veggies and limit waste in the process with their five tips on what to do with leftover roasted vegetables.

If you’re packing a lunch or want something easy to grab on the go, chopping up the veggies and adding them to a bed of your favorite greens (for Zeitlin, that means romaine) is a great way to make a roasted vegetable salad. Zeitlin also suggests switching up the flavors with a homemade tahini dressing. Feller likes to combine her roasted vegetables with feta, cooked grains, nuts, pomegranate seeds, then drizzles everything with a tart lemony dressing made with apple cider vinegar, lemon, garlic, and olive oil.
