Feel free to adjust the seasoning and herbs to suit your taste preferences. You can add other spices like paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
If you prefer a crispier texture, you can bake the dish uncovered for the entire duration, skipping the initial covered baking step. Just keep an eye on it to prevent excessive browning.
