- Substitute honey or maple syrup for sugar to add natural sweetness.
- Add fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for extra flavor.
- Try spices like paprika or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stove.
