What to Make With Leftover Vegetables

Cooked or fading vegetables have four dependable second acts.

Ideas that actually work

  • Frittata

    Fold into beaten eggs, cook on the stove, and finish under the broiler.

  • Blender soup

    Simmer in stock, blend smooth, and finish with cream or olive oil.

  • Grain bowl

    Pile over rice or grains with a punchy dressing.

  • Pasta toss

    Chop small and toss with pasta, garlic oil, and cheese.

How long it keeps

Cooked vegetables keep 3–4 days; raw ones freeze well after blanching.
