This tastes great by itself, on top of a "healthified" ice cream or on top of a pork loin!
1 zucchini or jicama
2 TBS coconut oil OR butter
3 TBS Just Like Brown Sugar
1 TBS lemon juice
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
Peel the jicama or zucchini, cut lengthwise into quarters (if using zucchini remove the seeds). Slice into "apple" slices or cubes.
Heat the butter over high heat in a medium skillet. When the butter has melted and has turned brown (not black). Stir in all the ingredients and cook on medium heat until the veggie is to desired consistency (the longer you cook it the softer it will be). Adjust the sweetener and cinnamon, if needed. Makes 4 servings.
