- Prep your veggies in advance: Cutting and dicing your vegetables beforehand will save you time and hassle when you're ready to assemble the veggie squares.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of vegetables to create a colorful and flavorful dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, broccoli, zucchini, and bell peppers.
- Season your veggies well: Be generous with the seasonings when you're sautéing the vegetables. This will help to bring out their natural flavors.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be tender but still have a slight crunch to them. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good options.
- Serve the veggie squares warm: These are best served warm, straight out of the oven. They can also be served at room temperature or cold.
