Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Make the Tahini Dressing Ahead of Time?

How Long Does the Roasted Veggie Bowl Last in the Fridge?

The roasted veggie bowl lasts about 3 to 5 days in the fridge. I usually store it in an airtight container, which helps keep those delicious flavors fresh for a little longer!

Tahini’s a smooth paste made from ground sesame seeds, often used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes. I usually find it in the international aisle at grocery stores or specialty health food shops.
