Place the baking sheet under the broiler and toast the grapefruit for 6-8 minutes, or until the sugar mixture is bubbly and lightly browned but not burned.

Step 8

Remove the grapefruit from the oven and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Step 9

For an optional creamy topping, add a dollop of vanilla yogurt to each grapefruit half and garnish with fresh mint leaves for presentation.
