Tips

🔥 Extra crispy? Broil for 1-2 mins at the end.
🌶️ Spicy kick? Add red pepper flakes before baking.
🍅 More flavor? Drizzle with balsamic glaze or marinara sauce.

Great with grilled chicken, roasted meats, or as a veggie main! 😋

Variation: Try with bacon bits or a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning!
