Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large grapefruit
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar (optional)
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler setting or prepare a small handheld kitchen torch if you prefer a torching method.
Slice the grapefruit in half horizontally and use a small paring knife to loosen the segments by cutting along the membranes. This makes it easier to scoop out with a spoon when eating.
Place the grapefruit halves cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Drizzle each grapefruit half with 1/2 tablespoon of honey, spreading it evenly across the surface with the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon over each grapefruit half. If desired, lightly sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of brown sugar on each half to add extra caramelization.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning. Alternatively, use a kitchen torch to lightly caramelize the top layer until golden and bubbling.
Remove the grapefruits from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes.
Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
Serve warm with a spoon and enjoy!
