I LOVE grapefruit. The smell, the taste- I am joyfully obsessed with this luscious, juicy fruit.
I recently came across the idea to broil a grapefruit, and I immediately had to try it.
I'm not one to flinch from brown sugar and butter, but I am trying to promote healthier eating in my life, so I thought why not try a little experimenting?

Broiled Grapefruit Slices
Healthy Style
- 1-2 Grapefruits (I used 1-Ruby Red, and 1-Marsh Grapefruit)
- Vanilla Powder
- Chinese Five Spice
- 1 pkg Stevia Sweetner
After I set my oven on Broil,
and moved my oven rack to the closest position to the broiler...
I started by cutting the fruit in half, and placed them in
my lovely Emile Henry 9x9 square baking dish.
Sprinkled on Vanilla Powder, Chinese Five Spice and Stevia
I popped them into the oven under the broiler for 6 minutes.
BEAUTIFUL!!!! And taste delicious, BUT......
I wanted to taste the spices on ALL of the grapefruit,
not just the tops.
Sooo....
I sliced off the broiled ends,
and sliced the halves into additional slices
placed on an un-greased cookie sheet
and added vanilla, spices and Stevia
and placed under the broiler for 6 minutes!
The results......AMAZING!!!!!
The warm grapefruit is so beautiful to taste! Plus, the Chinese Five Spice has this perfect way of adding such a bold vibrance to the flavors of the grapefruit- it's perfection.
If you'd like to do this the brown sugar and butter way, please visit Megan's blog: Running Foodie
and see her yummy recipe that I adapted this version from.
As well as eating this beautiful treat on it's own, I'm thinking of using it as a salad topping in place of mandarin oranges! YUM!!!
