Ingredients
- 1 large grapefruit
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, softened
- 2 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven's broiler setting to high. Place the oven rack about 4-6 inches below the broiler element.
Step 2
Cut the large grapefruit in half horizontally. Use a sharp paring knife to carefully loosen the segments by cutting along the membranes, without removing them. This allows for easier eating after broiling.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
Step 4
Set the grapefruit halves cut-side up on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish. Spread 1 teaspoon of softened butter onto the top of each grapefruit half.
Step 5
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly over each grapefruit half. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon of honey on top of each for added sweetness.
Step 6
Place the grapefruit halves under the broiler and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the sugar is bubbly and slightly caramelized. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Step 7
Remove the grapefruit from the oven and let it cool for 2 minutes. Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy as a bright, tangy, and sweet breakfast treat or snack!
