Notes
You can swap out the fresh green onions, garlic, peppers and parsley for dried spices. Substitute the green onions for 1 tablespoon of onion powder, the garlic for 1 teaspoon of garlic powder or granulated garlic, the peppers for ¼ teaspoon of paprika and the parsley for 1 tablespoon of parsley flakes.
