I have a MAJOR sweet tooth (like I can devour an entire package of Oreos no problem) so I am always trying to find creative and healthier ways to satisfy my sweet cravings .One of my favorites is broiled grapefruit. Broiling the grapefruit brings out the flavor and it so crazy DELICIOUS!
Grapefruit- broiled alone it is yummy but you can also add toppings
Additional toppings-
honey
a sprinkle of brown sugar
a sprinkle of cinnamon
granola
my favorite- toasted coconut with a little bit of diced basil
Start by preheating your boiler
Slice your grapefruit in half
Segment the grapefruit
Sprinkle the sugar and/or honey on top
Place grapefruit on a cookie sheet
Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the sugar is caramelized
If you are using coconut or anything that cooks quickly, then add at the very end of broiling.
Let the grapefruit cool and then enjoy!
I hear you on the oreo thing! I will have to try this. I do love grapefruit.
ReplyDeleteI have read about this once before. You mention a few more options that sound yummy. Now I really must try it!
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother used to make these for me all the time when I was a little girl. She even had these cute little spoons that were serrated on one side to get the grapefruit out.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so yummy! I can't eat grapefruit, so I might try it with a nice big orange. Thank you for the idea :).
ReplyDeletei have never heard this before! looks amazing and a definite fit for my love of things sweet too! :). thankyou!! xo
ReplyDeleteMy husband told me that his dad did this when he was a boy. I have never heard of anyone else doing this until your post. I thought what a strange thing to do. I need to apologize to my hubby.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I am a little glad that my daughter and I are gluten intolerant. Makes it so much easier to resist the oreos and other sugary cookies and such that we crave.
ReplyDeleteThis looks yummy!
Seriously, you are so talented... you make everything look incredible!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so clever! And beautiful. Can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeletethis sounds so yummie.I have to say can't wait to try it, thanks for sharing.........
ReplyDeletemmmm... che buono! Lo proverò sicuramente!
ReplyDeleteCerto che il pacchetto di Oreo, però, è un'altra cosa...
mmmm... that good! I'll definitely try!
Sure that the package of Oreo, however, is another thing...
That broiled grapefruit sure looks mouthwatering! I've never tried to broil fruit before, but from what I can see there, I'll definitely try that one out. That is definitely uber healthy! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!
