Brown Sugar Spaghetti Squash
Brown Sugar Spaghetti Squash is one of the easiest and healthier desserts you can make! Many people are surprised that this delicious vegetable can be part of sweet recipes, but it’s all about how you dress it up. I like mine served with a delicious, buttery concoction of melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Also, feel free to mix in raisins, walnuts or pecans for a nice chewy and crunchy texture. To make a vegan version, just use vegan butter. You can also play around and use less butter and sugar, adjust to your taste.
