Serve with butter an salt.
Cut in half or quarters, remove seeds and excess fibrous strands with a spoon, add sugar substitute to taste, add cinnamon to taste, and a touch of nutmeg. Wrap in saran wrap and cook in microwave. When cooked (soft), add butter while still warm and enjoy.

In place of a sugar substitute, add honey just before serving.
