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.

Provided by Melissa Clark

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.

Tips:

  • To select the best grapefruit, choose one that feels heavy for its size and has a smooth, blemish-free rind.
  • If you don't have a broiler, you can cook the grapefruit under the grill for a few minutes, or until it is slightly charred.
  • You can use any type of cooking oil you like, but olive oil or avocado oil are good choices for this recipe.
  • If you don't have any spinach on hand, you can use another type of leafy green, such as kale or arugula.
  • To make the dressing, you can use either lemon juice or lime juice. If you use lime juice, you may want to add a little bit of honey or sugar to balance out the tartness.
  • Serve the salad immediately, while the grapefruit is still warm. It can also be served chilled, if you prefer.

Conclusion:

Broiled grapefruit spinach salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The grapefruit adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the salad, while the spinach provides a healthy dose of vitamins and minerals. The dressing is light and flavorful, and it perfectly complements the grapefruit and spinach. This salad is also very easy to make, and it can be ready in just a few minutes. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this broiled grapefruit spinach salad a try.
