For an enhanced flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before baking. Fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or oregano can be added for an extra layer of flavor. If you prefer a more intense garlic flavor, consider using roasted garlic instead of fresh. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a simple salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
