Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: You can use sweet potatoes or even zucchini for a healthier twist. If you don’t have Parmesan, try substituting with Grana Padano or a dairy-free cheese alternative.
- Optional Variations: Add heat by sprinkling some red pepper flakes, or mix in some Italian seasoning for a greater depth of flavor.
- Storage or Reheating Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore their crispiness, rather than using the microwave.
