Drizzle honey on top of each grapefruit half, adding a sprinkle of brown sugar and cinnamon if desired.
Place the grapefruit halves on a baking sheet, cut side up, and transfer them to the broiler.
Broil the grapefruit for about 5-7 minutes, or until the tops are bubbly and begin to caramelize.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!

Tips for Making Broiled Grapefruit with Honey

Watch Closely: The grapefruit can go from perfectly broiled to burnt in seconds, so keep an eye on it!
Use Fresh Honey: Opt for high-quality honey for a richer flavor. Local raw honey is always a great choice.
Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add nuts, coconut flakes, or other fruits as toppings before broiling for added texture and flavor.

Make-Ahead Instructions

You can prepare the grapefruit halves and drench them in honey beforehand and store them in the fridge, but broiling should be done just before serving for best results.
Have the dry toppings ready to sprinkle to save time when it’s time to cook.

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftover grapefruit in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best to consume within 1-2 days. Reheating is not recommended as they can lose their texture.

Freezing Broiled Grapefruit with Honey

It is not recommended to freeze broiled grapefruit as the texture will change upon thawing.
