  3. Serve warm to enjoy its full flavor.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes. This recipe is great for meal prep and pairs well with sides like quinoa or roasted vegetables.
