Broiled Grapefruit

  • 1 red or yellow grapefruit, cut in half 
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • dash of cinnamon


Cut 1/4 inch off the bottom of each half of grapefruit, so they don't wobble. Using a sharp paring knife, cut around the edges of the fruit, where the fruit meets the rind. Then gently cut inside the grapefruit, along the edges of the segments. Don't cut all the way through the grapefruit, just to the rind.

Line a broiling or roasting pan with foil. Place the grapefruit halves, cut side up in the pan. Spread brown sugar over the top of the exposed fruit (not the rind), about 1 teaspoons of brown sugar per half.  Sprinkle with cinnamon.

Place under a broiler for 3 to 5 minutes, until the brown sugar is bubbly and beginning to brown and caramelize. Remove from oven. Let cool for a minute. Eat while still warm.
