Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Set your oven to the broil setting and preheat it.
- Cut each grapefruit in half horizontally, creating a total of 4 halves.
- If necessary, use a knife to cut around the edges and segment the interior of the grapefruit to make it easier to eat later.
- Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar evenly over each half of the grapefruit.
- Add a dash of salt to each grapefruit half to enhance the flavor.
- Place the grapefruit halves on a baking sheet, with the cut side facing up.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the oven, positioning it around 4-6 inches from the broiler element.
- Broil the grapefruits for about 3-5 minutes, or until the sugar is bubbly and caramelized. Keep a close watch on them to prevent burning.
- Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the grapefruits cool for a few minutes.
- Serve the caramelized broiled grapefruits warm.
Tips:
- Choose ripe grapefruits for the best flavor; look for fruits that are slightly soft to the touch and heavy for their size.
- For an extra touch of flavor, try sprinkling a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg over the brown sugar before broiling.
- If you want a deeper caramelization, use a kitchen torch instead of the broiler to achieve that perfect golden crust.
- Serve the broiled grapefruit with a dollop of Greek yogurt or crème fraîche for added creaminess and a contrasting texture.
- Be careful not to overcook the grapefruit under the broiler, as it can quickly go from perfectly caramelized to burnt.
