Grapefruit with brown sugar is a quick and easy treat that balances the tartness of grapefruit with the sweetness of brown sugar. This simple recipe is perfect for a light dessert or a refreshing snack, providing a delightful mix of flavors and a boost of essential nutrients.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by washing the grapefruit thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or residues.
- Place the grapefruit on a cutting board.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the grapefruit in half horizontally.
- With the knife, gently cut around each grapefruit segment to loosen it. This will make it easier to eat later.
4. Add Brown Sugar:
- Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of brown sugar evenly over each half of the grapefruit. Ensure the sugar is distributed well over the exposed flesh.
- Preheat your oven's broiler to high.
- Place the sugared grapefruit halves on a baking sheet, flesh side up.
- Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until the sugar has melted and caramelized, forming a crispy golden crust. Be careful not to let it burn.
- Serve the grapefruit halves immediately on small plates.
- For easier eating, you can provide small spoons or grapefruit spoons.
Tips:
- Choose a ripe grapefruit that feels firm and heavy for its size, indicating it's juicy inside.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the grapefruit to avoid squishing it and ensure clean slices.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly on top to get a consistent sweet taste in every bite.
- For an added twist, you can broil the grapefruit for a couple of minutes until the sugar caramelizes.
- Serve chilled for a refreshing treat on a hot day.
With just two simple ingredients, grapefruit with brown sugar makes for a healthy and delicious treat that can be prepared in minutes. Enjoy this delightful combination any time you need a quick, refreshing snack.
