storing & reheating

if you are making this recipe for meal prep you will need to know about storing and reheating.

I love to prep these for lunch for the week. I place them between parchament paper stacking them up and once they cool, I put them in a ziploc bag or tupperware and store them in the fridge. however if you wanted to prep a larger amount and store them in the freezer, I would store them the same way.

reheating: I place them in the air fryer for 5 minutes or you can re-sautee them on the skillet if you prefer.
