Description
In this recipe for Broiled Grapefruit with Brown Sugar and Sea Salt, simple grapefruit gets the special treatment when broiled with brown sugar & topped with sea salt flakes.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe grapefruit
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- sea salt flakes - to taste
Instructions
- Turn oven onto broil setting or as hot as your oven will go on a bake setting.
- Slice the grapefruit in half, across its equator. Using a sharp paring knife, carefully cut around the outside edge of the grapefruit halves (slicing about halfway down) to loosen the segments slightly.
- Place the grapefruit halves, cut side up on a lined baking sheet. Sprinkle each half with 1 teaspoon of brown sugar.
- Place the baking sheet on an upper shelf in the oven and broil the grapefruit for 4-6 minutes, rotating halfway through. The sugar should be completely melted and start to caramelize slightly. Keep an eye on the grapefruit halves as they will start to burn quickly, a little charring is nice but you don't want a blackened grapefruit.
- Once you're removed the grapefruit from the oven and it's cooled slightly, sprinkle with desired amount of sea salt flakes. Serve warm and preferably with a serrated grapefruit spoon.
