Tide You Over Tuesday: Broiled Grapefruit

by Amanda @ A Few Short Cuts on January 10, 2011

Who says delicious can’t be low cal?  I am trying to stick with the healthier side of delicious over the next couple weeks.  Fresh fruits and vegetables are such an integral part of our diet, yet we don’t focus on them enough.

I am a natural lover of grapefruit, but some will only eat it sweetened. When you heat fruit it brings out the natural sugars.  I had never thought about heating grapefruit until I was served it last year at Disney.  IT IS SPECTACULAR!

This would be a eye-opening addition to a brunch, breakfast, or to serve to one you love for a breakfast in bed!  It is so simple, the most time consuming part is segmenting the grapefruit.  So, grab a sharp knife, a grapefruit, and some brown sugar…you have to try this!

Broiled Grapefruit

  • Couple of Grapefruit
  • 1/3 cup Brown Sugar

Cut Grapefruit in half.

Take a sharp knife and segment (cut between the fruit and membrane so it is easier to eat with a spoon).

Sprinkle top with Brown sugar, and place under hot broiler for a couple minutes until sugar forms a crust.

019

Serve warm.

I always top my grapefruit with brown sugar but never thought of broiling it! Great idea!

We just made this on New Years morning — I don’t use any sugar and add cinnamon. It’s a treat for breakfast or for dessert.

We use just a sprinkling of demerara (raw) sugar and then a little dried basil over the top. Yummy!
