Notes
If you’re out of honey, agave syrup or maple syrup can work as substitutes. For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes, or toss in some snow peas or bell peppers for added crunch and color. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or microwave in short intervals.
