Ingredients
  

Grapefruit
  • 2 whole grapefruits preferably ruby red for sweetness
Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
Butter
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional for extra flavor

Method
 

Prepare the Grapefruit
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the grapefruits in half and carefully remove the segments with a sharp knife, leaving the membranes intact.
Mix the Topping
  1. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon until well combined.
Caramelize the Grapefruit
  1. Place the grapefruit halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Spoon the brown sugar mixture evenly over each half.
  2. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for about 5-7 minutes, or until the sugar is bubbly and caramelized. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Serve
  1. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
