For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chard mixture. If you can't find rainbow chard, spinach or Swiss chard make excellent substitutes. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. A drizzle of balsamic glaze after roasting adds a touch of sweetness and acidity that complements the savory filling beautifully.

Apr 19, 2025Make sure you gently squeeze out the excess moisture from the chard, otherwise the filling will be too wet.
