Baked Grapefruit Treat (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
A pinch of flaky sea salt, like Maldon
02 -
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
03 -
1/4 cup (50 grams) dark brown sugar
04 -
2 grapefruits, halved
# Instructions:
01 -
Pick between baking (for softer, fully warmed fruit) or broiling (for faster prep with caramelized tops and slightly firmer fruit).
02 -
Set oven to 400°F if baking. If broiling, turn the broiler to high.
03 -
Cut a thin slice off the bottom of each grapefruit half so they stay steady. Loosen the segments by running a knife around them, and arrange on a baking tray.
04 -
Add a tablespoon of brown sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon over each grapefruit half.
05 -
If broiling, place under the broiler for 6-8 minutes until the sugar bubbles. If baking, leave in the oven at 400°F for 15-18 minutes.
06 -
Put a dash of flaky sea salt on top and serve hot or cool—whichever you like best.
# Notes:
01 -
When heat is applied, grapefruit becomes sweeter and loses some of its tartness. Let it cook longer for a more mellow flavor.
02 -
Switch out brown sugar for white sugar, honey, or even maple syrup if you want a different taste.
03 -
Adding flaky sea salt amps up the sweetness, tames the bitterness, and gives each bite a nice crunch.
