Zero-Waste & Substitutes * Zero-Waste Tip: Scrape off any residual spiced honey and sesame mixture left in the bowl or on the parchment paper and toss it into your warm morning oats or yogurt bowl. * Substitutes: Swap honey with maple syrup for a vegan version or brown sugar dissolved in a splash of warm water. Kashmiri red chili powder can be substituted with paprika for less heat or red chili flakes for an extra kick. |
