Simple Tasty Delight: Sweet & Tart Baked Grapefruit

I like grapefruit, it is so tart and refreshing. Normally, I just slice it in half and add a bit of Splenda to the top and enjoy it. This baked grapefruit has a lovely topping to it and is so warm and inviting. It makes the perfect fall breakfast recipe.

Then one of my fans on my Facebook page (waving at Carla Andringa!) suggested that I try baking it with brown sugar and cinnamon.  My goodness, why have I not done this before?

It is simply delicious and so easy to make.  Just four ingredients, slice, sprinkle and pop in a hot oven for 10 minutes and you end up with a morning delight.

Start by slicing off  the grapefruit in half and then slice off a bit from the bottom so that it sites evenly in the baking dish.  Then use a serrated knife to trim around the outside of the fruit as well as the segments.   It might get messy but that is fine. *(I used my grapefruit knife for this.  Made it very easy, since it has a curved blade.)

Sprinkle on the brown sugar, cinnamon and ground cloves.  The toppings might start to dissolve because of the liquid. That is fine.

Pop them into a preheated 450º oven for 10-12 minutes. 

Enjoy!  I had mine this morning with one of my caramel apple buttermilk muffins for a great tasting start to my morning.

This is my favorite way to use grapefruit now and so good for you.  The amount of the sugar in the toppings is very small and yet adds a delicious taste to the tart grapefruit. Try it soon.

Thanks for sharing this breakfast recipe idea Carla!
