Broiled Grapefruit With Coconut Recipes

BROILED GRAPEFRUITS WITH HONEY AND COCONUT SUGAR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easier clean up!).
• Cut each grapefruit in half. If desired, you can also cut a small slice from the bottom of the grapefruit to make them lie flat. I didn't do this because these sat fine without it. Using a paring knife, carefully cut between the wedges in the grapefruit. This will make for easier eating later.
• Place the grapefruit halves on the baking sheet. Drizzle each with 2 teaspoons of honey and your desired amount of cinnamon and coconut sugar.
• Slide the baking sheet into the oven. The rack should be set about 4-inches from the broiler element. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly browned. Let cool for a few minutes before serving -- and be sure to spoon any honey mixture left on the tray on top of the hot grapefruits. Enjoy!

BROILED GRAPEFRUIT

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. You can alternately use a toaster oven for this using a high temp.
• Prep grapefruit: Slice grapefruits in half. You may have to slice a tad bit off the bottom if your grapefruits don't stand straight. Use a grapefruit knife or a serrated paring knife and cut each segment so the pink flesh is cut away from the membrane. Next, gently par around the whole outside area of flesh cutting away from the rind. It will make your grapefruit eating a little easier and less messy.
• Assemble: Place each half, cut side up, on a rimmed cookie sheet or baking dish. Top each half with 1 teaspoon or so of coconut oil, 1 teaspoon or so of sugar, and a generous pinch of ginger. Use your fingers to blend and spread the ginger on the grapefruit halves.
• Broil: Place under the broiler and cook anywhere from 4 - 7 minutes. I find it best to set your timer for 2 minutes, check grapefruit, if sugar is not caramelized or there is no excessive charring of the grapefruit rind (white part), add another minute and repeat the process until sugar is caramelized and rind is gently colored but not overly burnt all around. If using shredded coconut, sprinkle on top of the grapefruit halves after the first 2 minutes. Once done, sprinkle with salt.
• Serve: Enjoy right away or let cool and serve at room temp.

COCONUT GINGER BROILED GRAPEFRUIT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread coconut on a cookie sheet and bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fragrant, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
• Heat oven broiler on high. Cut your grapefruits in half and place them cut-side-up on a rimmed cookie sheet. If they do not sit flat, cut a little off of the bottoms of the halves to create a flat surface.
• Place 1/4 cup coconut sugar in a small bowl. Add the ginger and rub the ginger into the sugar with your fingers.
• Crumble the gingered sugar evenly over each grapefruit half. Sprinkle 1 additional teaspoon coconut sugar over the tops of each half, taking care to cover any spots couldn't cover with the gingered sugar. Place in oven directly under broiler and broil until the sugar is bubble, melted, and golden in spots, about 5 minutes (but the time can really vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them from the get go and know it could take anywhere from 2 - 8 minutes).
• Remove from oven and sprinkle each half with the toasted coconut. Serve with spoons (serrated grapefruit spoons are great if you have them!)

BROILED GRAPEFRUIT WITH TOASTED COCONUT AND MINT RECIPE

Steps:

• Put your oven on broil.
• So that the grapefruit sits flat, cut 1/4 inch off of the bottom of each grapefruit half.
• Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Put the grapefruit halves onto the baking sheet and broil for about 5 minutes or until done to your liking.
• Spread the coconut flakes out into one layer in a small oven dish. Place them into the oven for 1-2 minutes until they are toasted to your liking. You will need to watch them as they toast quickly.
• When the grapefruit and coconut are done, remove them from the oven.
• Put each grapefruit half onto a plate and then sprinkle on the toasted coconut and mint.
• Enjoy!

BROILED GRAPEFRUIT

Steps:

• Preheat your oven's broiler.
• Cut the grapefruits in half, and use a small serrated knife to cut out the sections in the halves. Spoon the sections and juice into a bowl, then scrape out all of the remaining thick skins and pulp. Spoon the sections from the bowl back into the halves. This is best done one half at a time.
• Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the top of each grapefruit half, adjusting as you see fit. Dot with butter. Place the halves on a cookie sheet.
• Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, until the butter is melted and sugar is starting to turn brown.

BROILED SPICED GRAPEFRUIT

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Cut around the edges where the fruit meets the peel of each grapefruit half to loosen the fruit. Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg over each half and top with coconut sugar. Place grapefruit halves on a baking sheet or in a loaf pan.
• Broil in preheated oven until sugar is browned, about 7 minutes. Allow to cool at least a few minutes.

BROILED GRAPEFRUIT WITH BROWN SUGAR AND FLAKY SALT

Steps:

• Move the rack 4 inches away from the broiler, and turn it on.
• Halve the grapefruits through their equators. Using a paring knife or a grapefruit knife, cut the sections away from the membranes and pith so they are easy to spoon up. Place grapefruit halves, cut-side up, on a baking sheet. Sprinkle each grapefruit half with 1 tablespoon brown sugar, then drizzle with melted butter and a little honey. Sprinkle cinnamon over the tops if you like.
• Broil grapefruit until the sugar melts and caramelizes, 2 to 5 minutes. (Broilers vary a lot so watch carefully to make sure they don't burn.) Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and serve immediately.

SWEET BROILED GRAPEFRUIT

Steps:

• Cut grapefruits in half.
• Cut the membrane out of the middle of each half.
• Cut the sections loose.
• Place 1 T butter in the center of each.
• Mix sugar and cinnamon.
• Sprinkle over each half.
• Broil until bubbly.
• Place a cherry in middle of each.

BROILED GRAPEFRUIT WITH HONEY, VANILLA & CARDAMOM

Steps:

• Position an oven rack about 4 inches below the broiler and heat the broiler on high.
• With a serrated knife, cut the grapefruit in even halves.
• Using a small paring knife or a grapefruit knife, cut each section away from the surrounding membrane.
• Set the grapefruit halves in a shallow broiler-safe pan (such as an enameled baking dish or a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet).
• If necessary, trim a thin slice off their bottoms so they sit level.
• In small bowl, stir together the honey and the vanilla extract.
• Drizzle the honey mixture over the grapefruit halves.
• Dust each with a bit of cardamom.
• Broil until bubbling and lightly browned in spots, 4-6 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.
