Ingredients
- 1 large grapefruit
- a few drizzles of honey
- a pinch of sea salt
- a dash of cayenne pepper
- 2 (2-inch) fresh rosemary sprigs
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to broil setting to prepare for caramelizing the grapefruit.
- Prepare the Grapefruit: Slice the grapefruit in half horizontally and place both halves cut side up onto a baking sheet.
- Add Toppings: Drizzle honey evenly over the exposed halves, then sprinkle each with a pinch of sea salt and a dash of cayenne pepper. Tuck a rosemary sprig into the center of each half to infuse aroma during broiling.
- Broil the Grapefruit: Place the baking sheet in the oven and broil the grapefruit for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown and caramelize, enhancing the sweetness and flavor.
- Serve Warm: Remove from oven, discard the rosemary sprigs, and serve the broiled grapefruit warm for the best taste experience.
Notes
- Keep a close eye during broiling to prevent burning as broiler strengths vary.
- You can adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level or omit it if you want a milder flavor.
- Fresh rosemary adds a lovely herbal aroma, but you can substitute with thyme or omit if unavailable.
- This recipe serves one but can be easily multiplied for more servings.
