So if you are NOT a GRAPEFRUIT fan, you probably will not like this! If you are lukewarm on GRAPEFRUIT this may help you turn the corner! If you think GRAPEFRUITS are FAB, this will leave you wondering “Why didn’t I think of that?”
I saw this in a magazine a few years back and never got around to trying it. I then saw a variation of it again in my Tosca Reno, Clean Eating cookbook a few days ago and given I had a new, HUGE, bag of Grapefruits from Costco, I went for it!
DELICIOUS!
The kids actually enjoyed it too! I love any sweet treat in the later hours of the evening that I can have for minimal caloric intake! (208 full/ 104 for half)
Spiced Broiled Grapefruit
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 grapefruit per person
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup for each half
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract for each half
- Pinch each ground cardamom, nutmeg, and cinnamon per grapefruit
- (you can also use agave, honey, brown sugar)
DIRECTIONS
- Position rack 4 inches below broiler
- pre-heat to broil
- cut grapefruits in half, remove seeds, and section with a grapefruit knife (you are not removing the fruit, just loosening it)
- set grapefruits in baking dish and cover with toppings
- broil for 5 minutes, or until edges are brown and fruit is bubbling
Serve warm, BUT ALSO they taste great cold, as I had a left-over half for breakfast the next day! You could also add leftovers to a salad!
