Broiled Grapefruit with Brown Sugar Recipe

American · Dessert · 10 min total

A warm, caramelized grapefruit half topped with buttery brown sugar, perfect for a quick and healthy breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

• 1 large grapefruit
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the broiler to high and position an oven rack about 4 inches from the heat source.
2. Cut the grapefruit in half crosswise. Use a paring knife to loosen each segment from the membrane, if desired.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, softened butter, and cinnamon (if using) until well combined.
4. Spread the brown sugar mixture evenly over the cut surfaces of each grapefruit half.
5. Place the grapefruit halves on a baking sheet or in a shallow baking dish, cut side up.
6. Broil for 3–5 minutes, until the sugar is bubbling and lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 minute before serving warm.

Tips

• Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or vanilla ice cream.
• For a non-alcoholic version, omit the optional cinnamon and add a splash of vanilla extract.
