- Slice each grapefruit in half, then cut around the membranes to loosen the sections.
- Sprinkle sugar on top, then add a pinch of cinnamon.
- Bake or broil until the sugar melts
- Add a pinch of Maldon salt flakes and serve.
Tips for Success
- Cut a small section off the bottom of each grapefruit, so they sit in the baking dish without wobbling.
- For a healthier recipe with unrefined sugar, replace the brown sugar with honey or maple syrup.
- The longer you cook the grapefruit, the milder the flavor and the softer the fruit will become.
- If you want a firmer texture and more assertive flavors, place the grapefruit under the broiler, so the sugar cooks faster.
Grapefruit is a natural for breakfast but it also makes a great dessert. If you’re looking for a new twist on your typical dessert, try adding some baked grapefruit segments to our passion fruit ice cream.
