BROILED GRAPEFRUIT WITH BROWN SUGAR AND FLAKY SALT



Broiled Grapefruit With Brown Sugar and Flaky Salt image

A classic at a fancy breakfast or brunch, the best broiled grapefruits have a glossy caramelized topping covering sections of the warm, juicy citrus. This recipe also includes a little cinnamon for a heady fragrance, and a touch of sea salt, which softens the bitterness of the grapefruit peel. It's best served warm from the oven, when the brown sugar is still melted and syrupy. Ruby or pink grapefruits make for the prettiest presentation, but white ones work just as well, and have a livelier, more acidic flavor.

Categories     breakfast, brunch

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 grapefruits, preferably pink or ruby
4 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Honey, for drizzling
Ground cinnamon (optional)
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Move the rack 4 inches away from the broiler, and turn it on.
  • Halve the grapefruits through their equators. Using a paring knife or a grapefruit knife, cut the sections away from the membranes and pith so they are easy to spoon up. Place grapefruit halves, cut-side up, on a baking sheet. Sprinkle each grapefruit half with 1 tablespoon brown sugar, then drizzle with melted butter and a little honey. Sprinkle cinnamon over the tops if you like.
  • Broil grapefruit until the sugar melts and caramelizes, 2 to 5 minutes. (Broilers vary a lot so watch carefully to make sure they don't burn.) Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and serve immediately.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 104.1, Fat 0.2, Sodium 3.9, Carbohydrate 26.6, Fiber 2, Sugar 21.9, Protein 1

Tips:

  • Choose the right grapefruit: Select grapefruits that are heavy for their size and have a smooth, unblemished rind. Avoid grapefruits with soft spots or blemishes.
  • Prepare the grapefruit properly: Cut the grapefruit in half and remove the seeds. You can also remove the pith (the white part of the rind) if desired. However, the pith contains nutrients, so you may want to leave it in.
  • Use a variety of toppings: In addition to the sugar and cinnamon topping suggested in the recipe, you can also try other toppings such as honey, maple syrup, brown sugar, or even a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Broil the grapefruit until it is slightly caramelized: This will give the grapefruit a delicious, slightly smoky flavor.
  • Serve the grapefruit immediately: Broiled grapefruit is best served immediately after it is cooked. Grapefruit contains vitamin C, which begins to degrade quickly after it's cut. For maximum nutritional benefit, serve while the grapefruit is still warm.

Conclusion:

Broiled grapefruit is a quick and easy dessert that is both delicious and healthy. It is a great way to enjoy grapefruit, and it is also a good source of vitamin C. You can enjoy this treat with loved ones or indulge yourself in a guiltless pleasure while staying healthy. Give this recipe a try and let us know how you like it in the comments below!
