If you’ve been following our advice for healthy eating meal planning and preparation, you’ll already be cooking double batches of Bolognese to pop in the freezer, or cooking extra roast veggies to use in other meals.
Today we have pulled together five of our favourite recipes that make the most of leftover roast veggies from last night’s dinner.
This saves loads of time as you can add these to your meal and they’re already full of flavour from when you first prepared them.
Besides throwing them in a salad with some baby spinach and chickpeas, or adding to some cooked rice and fresh herbs, there are loads of ways to make your leftovers into a new meal perfect for when you are trying to lose pregnancy weight.
