Add a touch of sweetness with either a drizzle of honey at the end of mixing some raisins in to the stuffing mixture before baking.

Add some extra flavour by using something like pesto or sun-dried tomato paste.
You could add different flavours by using different seasonings on the vegetables like fajita, Cajun or Italian.
