Notes

Fresh garlic provides the best flavor, adding a rich and aromatic depth that enhances the overall taste of the dish. This recipe is also a great option for meal prep lunches, as it stores well and remains delicious throughout the week. If you prefer a less sweet flavor profile, you can easily adjust the sweetness by slightly reducing the amount of honey used. For a more satisfying and nutritious meal, feel free to add extra vegetables to increase both the texture and volume of the bowl.
