  • salt to taste

Instructions

Slow Roast In The Oven

Slow Roast In The Air Fryer

  • Add heat - add heat with red pepper flakes, jalapeños, cayenne, and more.
  • Add herbs - add in fresh or dried oregano, rosemary, or Italian seasoning.
  • Add sweetness - For extra sweetness add in some sugar or a sweetener if low carb.
