Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grapefruit

    Preheat the broiler in your oven. Cut each grapefruit in half horizontally and use a spoon to gently scoop out a small amount of the flesh to create a small well in each half.

  2. 2

    Add Toppings

    In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Drizzle honey over the grapefruit halves, then sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly on top.

  3. 3

    Broil the Grapefruit

    Place the grapefruit halves on a baking sheet and broil them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the sugar is caramelized and bubbly.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from oven and let cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
