Give yourself the gift of prep!
In this section I will give you ways to freeze, re-purpose and/or use some of your ingredients for another meal. Save yourself some time and effort next time you’re in the kitchen!
Use leftovers for breakfast: If you have leftover roasted sweet potatoes, use them in my Mexican Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl. The recipe calls for you to roast and dice a whole sweet potato. Just skip that part and use these potatoes instead!
Storage
Store leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven at 400 degrees for 5 minutes.
Top Tip
Use the biggest sheet pan you have to avoid the potatoes crowding each other. This ensures a crispy outside. Also, use parchment paper, NOT foil. The potatoes will stick to the foil.
