Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole grapefruits
- 4 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 sprigs fresh mint (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven broiler to high.
Wash the grapefruits thoroughly and pat them dry.
Slice the grapefruits in half horizontally to create 4 halves, then use a paring knife to cut around the edges of the fruit and between the segments to make them easier to scoop out after cooking.
Place the grapefruit halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet or in a shallow oven-safe dish.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of brown sugar evenly over each grapefruit half.
Lightly dust each half with a pinch of ground cinnamon for added flavor.
Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon of honey over the top of each grapefruit half to enhance the caramelization during broiling.
Place the prepared grapefruit halves under the broiler and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the tops are bubbly and lightly caramelized. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Carefully remove the grapefruit halves from the oven and allow them to cool for 1-2 minutes.
Optional: Garnish each grapefruit half with a small sprig of fresh mint before serving.
Serve the broiled grapefruit halves warm as a healthy breakfast option or a light, tangy dessert.
