I took a peak at my side item archive the other day and I couldn’t believe how bare it was. Only six recipes!

It’s strange because I love side items. As a vegetarian, sometimes that’s all I get to eat.

I guess when it comes to sharing the ones I make at home on a regular basis, they seem too simple. Like I feel kind of silly posting it. I mean, you can probably figure out how to make it by just reading the title. But as simple as it is, it’s one of my favorite side items to throw together for dinner during the week.

It’s crisp and crunchy with addicting garlicky lemony flavor.

Plus it takes all of five minutes to prepare.

Sometimes, if I’m lucky, Brandon will get home before me and have it ready to go when I walk in the door. Then I just pop it in the oven along with a few smashed seasoned potatoes, heat whatever vegetarian protein I have prepared and dinner is served.

But the main reason he knows how to make it is because we’ve had it a million times.

It’s a staple in our house that I’ve made for years and it never gets old. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as we do!
