Variations to try
Try different varieties of onions
I used red onion to make this dish. However, sweet onions, yellow onions or white onions also work well.
Add different seasoning
The ingredients were kept very simple here, but there are all sorts of ways to dress up this recipe. You could add in a ½ teaspoon of garlic powder to the existing recipe. Italian seasoning would also taste amazing tossed in with the peppers and roasted onions. Or you could even add some fresh basil before serving it.
Use different peppers
Try out different pepper varieties! I think this dish would taste great with poblano peppers or it would be fun to try with mini peppers.
