Notes
Flavor Variations:
- BBQ: I brush on my favorite BBQ sauce (sweet, smoky, or tangy) before placing them in the oven.
- Garlic Butter: I mix minced garlic and/or garlic powder into the melted butter to add more flavor.
- Ranch: I add dry ranch seasoning mix into the melted butter. And of course, always serve with some ranch dressing for dipping.
