Warming up leftover jambalaya can be a breeze with the right technique.

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F and lightly oiling an oven-safe dish. Once the oven is prepared, add your jambalaya to the dish and cover it with foil. Place it in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until it’s warm throughout.

For best results, heat it further on the stovetop over low heat if necessary. There’s nothing like enjoying a delicious bowl of jambalaya, so with this technique you can always make sure that leftovers won’t go to waste!
