Smart Substitution Suggestions

olive oil→avocado oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and a more neutral flavor profile, making it a more stable choice for high-heat roasting.

crushed pecans→crushed walnuts

Walnuts provide a higher concentration of omega-3 fatty acids, which are excellent for supporting cardiovascular health during a nutritious dinner.
