Ingredients

• 2 whole grapefruit
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon clove powder
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut the grapefruits in half horizontally and use a paring knife to loosen the segments slightly, making it easier to scoop later.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and clove powder.

Step 4

Place the grapefruit halves cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.

Step 5

Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture evenly over the top of each grapefruit half.

Step 6

Add a small dab of butter (about 1/2 teaspoon) in the center of each grapefruit half for added richness.

Step 7

Drizzle a few drops of vanilla extract over each grapefruit half for extra flavor.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 6–8 minutes, or until the sugar melts and begins to caramelize slightly.

Step 9

For a deeper caramelization, switch the oven to broil mode for the last 1–2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 10

Remove the grapefruit halves from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm as is or with a dollop of yogurt or whipped cream for an added treat.
