Storage & Meal Prep Tips
How to Store
Let the bake cool completely, then store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
How to Reheat
Reheat individual portions in the microwave until hot, or cover the baking dish with foil and warm in the oven at 350°F until heated through.
Can You Freeze It?
Yes, but the texture is best fresh or refrigerated. If freezing, portion into freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 2 months.
Best Meal Prep Tip
Bake once, then divide into containers with a side salad, roasted sweet potatoes, rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for easy lunches.
