Have a little extra time? A few variations can be made to boost the flavor.
- Instead of using garlic powder, use roasted garlic. Brush 5 cloves with avocado oil, wrap in foil and roast at 375 degrees F for 40 minutes.
- Instead of onion powder, use sautéed chopped onion. Chop one onion and sauté in olive oil for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown and softened.
