Ingredients

• 2 whole grapefruits
• 4 teaspoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 2 sprigs fresh mint (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven broiler to high.

Step 2

Wash the grapefruits thoroughly and pat them dry.

Step 3

Slice the grapefruits in half horizontally to create 4 halves, then use a paring knife to cut around the edges of the fruit and between the segments to make them easier to scoop out after cooking.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of brown sugar evenly over each grapefruit half.

Step 6

Lightly dust each half with a pinch of ground cinnamon for added flavor.

Step 7

Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon of honey over the top of each grapefruit half to enhance the caramelization during broiling.

Step 8

Place the prepared grapefruit halves under the broiler and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the tops are bubbly and lightly caramelized. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 9

Carefully remove the grapefruit halves from the oven and allow them to cool for 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish each grapefruit half with a small sprig of fresh mint before serving.

Step 11

Serve the broiled grapefruit halves warm as a healthy breakfast option or a light, tangy dessert.
