Fresh ginger and coconut sugar top grapefruit halves and are broiled until caramelized and unbelievably delicious. Top with toasted coconut to take them over the top. Perfect for a special breakfast or brunch, but also ideal as a healthy(ish) dessert!

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup dried coconut chips or shredded coconut
2 grapefruits (I like Texas Rio or other Texas grapefruits for their sweetness)
1/4 cup plus 4 teaspoons coconut sugar (divided)
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread coconut on a cookie sheet and bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fragrant, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • Heat oven broiler on high. Cut your grapefruits in half and place them cut-side-up on a rimmed cookie sheet. If they do not sit flat, cut a little off of the bottoms of the halves to create a flat surface.
  • Place 1/4 cup coconut sugar in a small bowl. Add the ginger and rub the ginger into the sugar with your fingers.
  • Crumble the gingered sugar evenly over each grapefruit half. Sprinkle 1 additional teaspoon coconut sugar over the tops of each half, taking care to cover any spots couldn't cover with the gingered sugar. Place in oven directly under broiler and broil until the sugar is bubble, melted, and golden in spots, about 5 minutes (but the time can really vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them from the get go and know it could take anywhere from 2 - 8 minutes).
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle each half with the toasted coconut. Serve with spoons (serrated grapefruit spoons are great if you have them!)

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar or honey.

This was a great way to use up some overripe grapefruits. The coconut and ginger gave them a new life.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my grapefruit was really bitter. I think I might have used too much ginger.

I accidentally used regular sugar instead of brown sugar, but it still turned out great! I'll definitely be making this again.

This was a fun and easy recipe to try. The grapefruit was a bit tart, but the coconut and ginger helped to balance it out.

I'm not a big fan of grapefruit, but this recipe changed my mind! The coconut and ginger really mellowed out the sourness.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover grapefruit. I also added some orange zest and it was delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly and the grapefruit was still too sour for my taste. I would recommend adding more sugar or honey.
