Cheese Options
Crumbled Feta: For a tangy flavor, replace Parmesan with crumbled feta cheese. Feta adds a creamy and slightly salty note that pairs well with roasted vegetables.
Shredded Mozzarella: For a meltier texture, use shredded mozzarella. It creates a gooey, cheesy topping that’s delicious when melted.
Herb Varieties
Thyme: Replace basil or parsley with fresh thyme leaves. Thyme adds a subtle earthy flavor that complements the vegetables.
Oregano or Italian Seasoning: For an Italian twist, use dried oregano or a blend of Italian seasoning.
Additional Vegetables
Bell Peppers: Add sliced bell peppers for extra color and sweetness.
Eggplant: Include diced eggplant for a heartier dish with a slightly meaty texture.
Onions: Add sliced red or yellow onions for an additional layer of flavor and sweetness.
Flavor Enhancements
Balsamic Glaze: Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving to introduce a sweet and tangy element that enhances the roasted vegetables.
Spice Infusion: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes, paprika, or cayenne pepper for a hint of spice.
Nutty Crunch
Toasted Pine Nuts or Almonds: Sprinkle toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds over the finished dish to add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.
