Oven-Roasted Fiesta Snack Medley

Ingredients

- 2 cups assorted leftovers (e.g., roasted vegetables, cooked grains, proteins)
- 1/4 cup mixed condiments (e.g., ketchup, mustard, hot sauce)
- 1 package (6 oz) school lunch supplies (e.g., cheese sticks, crackers)
- 1/2 cup canned sparkling water
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 can (15 oz) beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- Optional: 1/4 cup cider or beer (for added flavor)
- Optional: 1/4 cup sparkling wine (for added flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional garnishes: shredded cheese, chopped fresh herbs

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare a Baking Dish
Lightly grease a large baking dish to prevent sticking.

3. Mix the Leftover Base
In a large bowl, combine the assorted leftovers, ensuring they are cut into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.

4. Prepare the Sauce
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mixed condiments, canned sparkling water, and coconut milk. This will serve as the sauce to infuse your medley with flavor. Add salt and pepper to taste.

5. Combine Ingredients
Pour the prepared sauce over the leftovers in the baking dish. Stir in the drained beans and tomato sauce to ensure everything is evenly coated. If desired, add cider, beer, or sparkling wine for extra flavor depth.

6. Add Toppings
Scatter school lunch supplies—cheese sticks torn into small pieces or crackers crumbled—over the top layer of the dish.

7. Oven Roast
Place the baking dish in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes until everything is hot and bubbly and the top is beginning to brown. For a crispier finish, you may broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.

8. Cool and Garnish
Allow the medley to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, garnish with shredded cheese or chopped fresh herbs for an enhanced presentation and flavor.
