Notes
Flavor Variations
Sweet — swap the brown sugar for maple syrup or even honey. Savory — add a bit of garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, or your favorite herbs to the brown sugar mixture. Spicy — don’t have cayenne? No problem, use chipotle powder, or regular chili powder. You could also use crushed red pepper.Nutrition
