Notes
Storage: Best enjoyed immediately, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to restore crispness. Make-Ahead: The honey glaze can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Variations: Add a sprinkle of za'atar or smoked paprika to the glaze for different flavor profiles. Serve alongside a fresh arugula salad, with crusty bread for dipping, or as part of a Mediterranean mezze platter with olives and roasted vegetables.
