Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Ruby red grapefruit
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cardamom
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your broiler to high and position an oven rack about 4-6 inches from the heat source.
Slice each grapefruit in half horizontally and use a small paring knife or grapefruit knife to loosen the segments from the membrane without removing them. This makes the grapefruit easier to eat once broiled.
Place the grapefruit halves cut side up on a baking sheet or in a broiler-safe dish.
In a small bowl, combine the honey, vanilla extract, and ground cardamom. Mix well to create a smooth syrup.
Evenly drizzle the honey vanilla cardamom mixture over the cut sides of each grapefruit half, ensuring it coats the surface and seeps into the segments.
Place the prepared grapefruit halves under the broiler and broil for 4-5 minutes, or until the tops are bubbling and slightly caramelized. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
Remove the grapefruit from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes.
If desired, lightly sprinkle with ground cinnamon and garnish with fresh mint leaves for added flavor and a pop of color.
Serve warm with a spoon and enjoy this sweet and spiced treat!
