Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add other vegetables to this recipe?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix in your favorite vegetables. Options like bell peppers, asparagus, or even Brussels sprouts can enhance the dish. Just adjust the cooking time if using vegetables that cook faster or slower than those listed.
