Veggie fritters, quiche or fritatta, add to zucchini slice. Savory muffins (w cheese/fetta/bacon/semidried toms)
Roast veggies, esp pumpkin, sweet potato, mushrooms, capsicum etc - convert into a warm salad by adding couscous/quinoa which has been cooked in stock, fresh herbs, fetta, chickpeas, or whatever else you've got that's tasty, eg semidried tomatoes.
We also love variations on day-after mash: esp with potato/pumpkin - either just mashed with a bit of butter, or you can do bubble and squeak where you add finely shredded cabbage to a really chunky mash, and then shallow-fry it all in a pan. Great when you've got a little bit of leftover roast and you want something tasty and filling to pad out the rest of the meal, can have your gravy or pickles or whatever on the side. Yum too with a couple of fried tomatoes. My mum used to cook this sometimes for breakfast (??) with eggs, I think that's an english thing.
ETA - I also meant to say about doing 2 minute noodle fritters - where you cook up the noodles, add the seasoning and a bit of flour and a couple of eggs, and then chuck in pretty much any vegetable on the planet, then cook as fritters. My kids *love* these - I add a lot more veggies than the recipe says to and they devour the lot in record time. Nice hot snack or super quick meal, especially on a cold day when you've been out all day and you get home and everyone's ravenous.
ETA#2 - just read back and realised that you were talking about leftover uncooked veggies, not cooked leftover ones. Oh well.
