Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: Feel free to replace olive oil with avocado oil or melted butter for a different flavor. You can also substitute Parmesan cheese with Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.
- Optional Variations: Add some heat by including red pepper flakes, or mix in some smoked paprika for a deeper, smoky flavor. Try adding herbs like thyme or rosemary for an aromatic twist.
- Storage or Reheating Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread them on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes to regain their crispiness.
