Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 grapefruit (See Note 1)
  • 3 tbsp light brown sugar (See Note 2)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat your grill/broiler to its highest setting and place your oven rack close to the top of the oven. Cut the grapefruit in half crossways. Using a small, sharp paring knife or a grapefruit knife cut around the edge of the fruit to loosen the fruit from the pith.
  • With the same knife, cut through grapefruit segments to release them, but don’t cut all the way through the skin.
  • Place the grapefruit halves onto a foil-lined baking tray. If the halved fruit does not sit flat, remove a small amount of peel from the base.
  • Top each grapefruit half with 3 teaspoons of light brown sugar. Use more or less to suit your taste.
  • Sprinkle each piece of fruit with a little powdered cinnamon if using.
  • Put the baking tray in the oven under the grill/broiler. Grill for approximately 7 minutes or until the sugar has caramelised and is golden brown. Grills/broilers vary a lot so keep an eye on the grapefruit to make sure that they don’t burn. Cool for a minute before serving to avoid being burnt by the hot sugar.
  • Transfer to individual serving plates, garnish with a mint sprig if you wish.
