💡 Tips

If desired, peel the skin and mash the flesh for a different texture or use in other recipes like soups or purees.To enhance flavors, consider sprinkling cinnamon or nutmeg on top before baking.For a vegan option, substitute butter with olive oil or a plant-based spread.Adding a drizzle of honey or maple syrup before serving creates a sweeter side dish.
