    Nothing! I eat them plain and enjoy every morsel of them.

    I have Cary's sugar free maple sugar that I use now w/ a lil bit of butter. It's super yummy and so so so low in calories!

    I put a little butter spray, cinnamon and nutmeg on mines, but a tsp of sugar or brown sugar wouldn't be too bad. Just don't pour it on. I'm having one for dinner tomorrow. Sounds so yummy!!!

    if you put a little olive oil on them you can roast them in the oven. They're lovely.

    I like gorganzola cheese sprinkles on mine, however the cheese is fattening so just a little bit.

    I use butter and some fresh ground pepper. I never have been a fan of putting sugar on them.

    Cut them into chunks, and steam them on the stove, then mash them with a bit of pepper.

    i love them topped with chili! well, that's what i'd usually do when i went to Sweet Tomatoes to eat. :) but if you're pressed for time, i'd suggest cracked pepper, red chili flakes, sea salt, scallions, and a bit of parmesan reggiano. :) a great combo of sweet and savory!

    I am surprised that I am the first to suggest this- bake till done, cut in half length wise, and sprinkle with a healthy amount of Cajun Seasoning!!! Absolutley delicious!!!

    The same here! There are yummy by themselves so why add anything, specially if you are serving them as a side dish for fish or chicken. But that is my opinion anyway.

    By the way, my husband and I are splitting one for dinner tonight as a side dish with turkey meatloaf. Enough, peeps I am getting hungry already!!
