Ingredients
- 1 grapefruit
- 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp. vanilla
- pinch of nutmeg, ginger, or cardamom
- pinch of cinnamon
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to low broil setting and line a baking pan with parchment paper or foil.
- Cut grapefruit in half through the middle and place in pan. To make it easier to eat, you may want to cut around each section in the grapefruit using a serrated knife (I use grapefruit spoons instead).
- Pour half of the vanilla onto the cut side of one of the grapefruit and the rest onto the other half. Use your finger or a spoon to spread.
- Divide sugar between the two halves, sprinkling evenly. Top each grapefruit half with a very small pinch of nutmeg (or ginger or cardamom), cinnamon, and salt.
- Place in preheated oven and cook for 8-12 minutes until the top is caramelized. If your oven does not have a low broil setting, the grapefruit will be done much faster so keep an eye on it. Eat right away.
