Ingredients

• 2 whole grapefruit
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 pinch sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut the grapefruits in half crosswise to create four halves.

Step 3

Using a small sharp knife, carefully loosen the grapefruit segments by running the blade along the edges of the fruit segments, without cutting through the peel. This makes it easier to eat once baked.

Step 4

Place the grapefruit halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet or in a shallow oven-safe dish.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the cut surfaces of the grapefruit halves.

Step 7

Drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon of honey over each half for an extra touch of sweetness.

Step 8

Cut the butter into small pieces and dot a few pieces onto each grapefruit half.

Step 9

Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the tops to balance the flavors.

Step 10

Bake the grapefruits in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are bubbly and slightly caramelized.

Step 11

Optional: For an extra caramelized finish, broil the grapefruits on high for 1-2 minutes after baking. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm as is, or pair with a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
