  • Substitute the bacon with tempeh for a plant-based protein: Tempeh is a great plant-based alternative to bacon that provides similar texture and flavor. It is also a good source of fiber and protein, making it a healthier and more sustainable option.
  • Substitute the canned tomatoes with fresh tomatoes: Fresh tomatoes are more nutrient-dense than canned tomatoes, as they retain more of their vitamins and minerals. They also have a fresher, brighter flavor that will help to enhance the overall taste of the dish.
