Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: If you’re looking to reduce calories, substitute half the olive oil with vegetable broth. For a dairy-free option, try nutritional yeast in place of Parmesan cheese.
- Optional Variations: Get creative! Add a sprinkle of chili flakes for heat or swap out the paprika for smoked paprika for a deeper flavor.
- Storage or Reheating Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the oven for a few minutes to restore their crispiness.
