Keywords: For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme. You can substitute garlic butter with olive oil or sprinkle cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking for a cheesy twist. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days; reheat at 350°F (175°C) to maintain crispiness.
