Adam and Joanne's Tips
- Storing: You can store sautéed vegetables in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can freeze them, but the texture of the veggies might change (especially more tender varieties like zucchini).
- Different veggies: When using different veggies in this recipe, consider how hearty they are. If they are on the heartier side, like broccoli, cauliflower, or carrots, we recommend cooking them with onions in the beginning. If they are more delicate, like tomatoes or snap peas, add them towards the end.
