Roasted Papaya with Brown Sugar

Ingredients:

1 ripe papaya
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter (or coconut oil for a vegan option)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Begin by cutting the papaya in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds carefully.
Next, place the papaya halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Spread the butter (or coconut oil) evenly over the cut surface of each half.
Sprinkle the brown sugar generously over the papaya, ensuring it covers the surface evenly.
If you like, sprinkle a teaspoon of cinnamon over the sugar for added flavor.
Roast the papaya in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the brown sugar has melted and caramelized, and the papaya is tender.
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Serve the roasted papaya warm, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired. This dish can be enjoyed as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a special treat!
