Overcooked Vegetables
It's hard to salvage mushy, overcooked veggies. When this happens, your best option is to turn them into soups or purees. If you don't feel like either, you can also turn the limp veggies into a warm side salad and top with a tangy vinaigrette. This will help the flavor profile, even if the texture isn't exactly what you were going for in the first place.
