How to Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Let the dish cool completely before storing to keep the texture and flavor at their best.
How to Freeze: Freeze in a tightly sealed, freezer-safe container for up to 1 month for best quality. You can freeze it either before or after baking, just make sure it’s well covered to prevent freezer burn.
How to Reheat: Reheat in the microwave in 30–60 second intervals until warmed through, or cover and warm in the oven at 350°F until hot. Add a splash of water or sauce if needed to keep it from drying out.
How to Scale: This recipe can easily be doubled for a crowd—just use two sheet pans to avoid overcrowding. For smaller portions, halve the ingredients and use a smaller pan while keeping the cooking time about the same.
