How Do I Store the Leftovers?

You can store the leftovers in a cooled baking dish, covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, placed in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

I don’t recommend freezing leftovers as the veggies will be a soft and mushy when thawed.

Variations

Change up the veggies: Add in onions, bell peppers or carrots to this dish before baking.

Try different potatoes: You can replace the sweet potatoes with Yukon Gold potatoes, small red potatoes or fingerling potatoes.

Try these for dessert!
