Notes

Prep Ahead: Chop and slice the vegetables up to 2 days in advance and store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator until ready to cook.

Storage: Store leftover sautéed vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.

Reheating: For the best texture, reheat the vegetables in a hot skillet for a few minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions.
