Dump whole unpeeled raw zucchini in the slow cooker and 2 other ingredients to get a sweet so delicious your husband will be begging for more!

This playful 3-ingredient slow cooker dessert leans into Earth Day by celebrating one of the most unassuming vegetables in the crisper: whole, unpeeled zucchini. Instead of shredding or disguising it, we simply nestle the raw squash into the bottom of the slow cooker, pour over a sweet, spiced mixture, and let time and gentle heat transform it into something soft, jammy, and spoonable.

The result is a cozy, caramelized dessert that feels like a cross between baked apples and zucchini bread filling, but with almost no prep and just one pot to wash.

Serve the warm zucchini dessert in shallow bowls, spooning plenty of the syrupy sauce over each piece. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or lightly sweetened whipped cream. For an extra Earth Day touch, sprinkle with toasted nuts or granola for crunch.

Leftovers are lovely chilled and spooned over oatmeal, pancakes, or plain yogurt the next morning.
