We love these as a quick weekday lunch or part of a slow weekend dinner spread. Whether you pan-fry or bake, they hold beautifully and reheat well—so go ahead and double the batch. Serve them with a lemon-tahini drizzle, our saffron hummus, fresh veggies, and your favorite sides for a colorful, nourishing plate that everyone can build their own way.
