2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon roasted red pepper flakes

Notes

Add lemon zest or a squeeze of lemon juice for a fresh, tangy twist.

Mix in chopped fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or chives.

Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave for a different sweetness profile.

Top with toasted nuts, such as pine nuts or almonds, for added crunch.

Blend in roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes for extra depth of flavor.
