• Different Brownie Flavors: Experiment with different types of brownies, like ones with nuts or chocolate chunks.
• Add-ins: You could add a layer of crushed cookies (like Oreos) or chopped nuts for extra texture.
• Espresso Powder: A pinch of espresso powder in the brownie batter or chocolate sauce can enhance the chocolate flavor.

Serving Ideas:

Over quinoa or rice with hummus or tahini drizzle

As a side dish with tofu, lentils, or plant-based protein

✅ Tips for Success:

Add heartier veggies (like potatoes) first if using softer ones like zucchini.

Want extra crisp? Roast at a higher temp (450°F) for 20–25 mins, or use convection.
