Recipe: Deliciously Simple Broiled Grapefruit

Today’s recipe for Broiled Grapefruit is inspired by one from my childhood. I grew up in Florida, and one of my mom’s favorite “Old Florida” restaurants to visit was Chalet Suzanne in Lake Wales. Mom loved the quaint, old-world charm of Chalet Suzanne. And she always enjoyed the delicious, Broiled Grapefruit on their menu. So with grapefruit season in full swing, I decided it was the perfect time to share my version of this restaurant-inspired recipe.

I’ve revised the ingredients a bit since the original Broiled Grapefruit recipe called for granulated white sugar and chicken livers as garnish. Instead, I opt for a little coconut sugar or maple syrup plus fresh berries and/or mint leaves as garnish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 grapefruit (cut in half)
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup or coconut sugar
  • 1 1/3 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Optional Garnish:

  • fresh berries and/or mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven broiler to low.
  2. Make the base of each grapefruit half flat so it won’t wobble by slicing about ¼-inch of the peel on the base and stem ends of each grapefruit. Then cut each grapefruit in half (slicing parallel to the cuts on the stem and base of the fruit).
  3. With a serrated knife or grapefruit sectioning tool, loosen the segments of the grapefruit. Place all the grapefruit halves on a baking sheet. Drizzle with butter, coconut sugar/maple syrup, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Put in oven about 4 inches from the broiler.
  4. Cook for 3-5 minutes until bubbly and the grapefruit rind starts to brown. Remove from broiler and garnish with fresh berries and/or mint leaves. Serve immediately.

Notes

We recommend using organic ingredients whenever possible.

Personally, I prefer ruby red grapefruit for this recipe, but any grapefruit will work!
