Doesn't work with all of them but there's a number of different veggies if you put them in a bowl of water for a few hours it will bring back their crunch.

I keep baby carrots, cut celery, and radishes in a bowl of H2O in the fridge to snack on, they keep pretty good for a couple of weeks actually.
