Tips & Variations
- Ingredient substitutions: If you want to lighten up the dish, you can substitute the olive oil with cooking spray or use your favorite oil blend. For a dairy-free option, try nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese.
- Optional variations: Spice things up by adding a teaspoon of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for an extra kick. You could also mix in some freshly grated lemon zest for a zesty twist.
- Storage or reheating tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes to retain crispness.
