5 ways to use up leftover vegetables

Whether they’re cooked or uncooked, you needn’t let leftover vegetables go to waste, we’ve put together some suggestions for how you can use leftover vegetables to make delicious meals this week.

Soup

Any leftover uncooked vegetables can be used to make a hearty soup. Or you could use cooked vegetables as soup toppings. Simply chop any leftover vegetables you have then fry in 1 tbsp. olive oil until crispy.

Frittatas

Leftover vegetables are fantastic in frittatas and you can even get creative and try out different combinations. As long as you have eggs, you can use any vegetables you might have in the fridge or had cooked the night before.

Roasted Vegetables

Prepare a side dish of roasted vegetables using any uncooked vegetables you have to hand. Some examples could include courgettes, aubergines, red peppers, cherry tomatoes or red onions.

Stir Fries

Stir fries are incredibly versatile. You can include any odd raw vegetables you might have such as broccoli, carrots, cabbage or red peppers, and liven them up with some seasoning.

Sauces

Make sauces extra nutritious by adding chopped leftover vegetables. This would be a great idea when preparing low carb pasta dishes such as courgetti bolognaise.
