I made broiled grapefruit this past weekend and threw it up on instagram and even got some love from Whole30. Since I posted my week one review I have had multiple comments about the grapefruit so I want to share what I did.
I first saw broiled grapefruit on The Corner Kitchen. I wanted to try broiled grapefruit since I saw that post. She has some great recipes but her grapefruit has vanilla sugar and that is no good during the Whole 30 Challenge. I found another recipe from Alisa Burke that has basil and coconut in the ingredients. Unfortunately this one called for honey and brown sugar. So I rolled the dice and tried broiled grapefruit with basil and coconut sans sugar.
The quick steps to a broiled grapefruit
- turn broiler on high
- slice grapefruit and place on cookie sheet
- broil for 2 minutes
- sprinkle with basil and coconut
- broil for another minute or two
That is it! I would recommend a grapefruit spoon to make eating this easier. My favorite part about this was how juicy it got. After the sugars heated up and got juicy I didn’t miss the added sugar one bit.
Want to see more of my meals check me out on instagram and follow along with the remaining 22 days of my Whole 30 Challenge and whatever I get into beyond that.
I am very intrigued by this recipe. I always think I should add more bitterness to my diet for which grapefruit is awesome.
I will have to try this.
I hope you enjoy it. I am looking forward to trying different toppings.
I’m looking forward to trying this! I love sectioned grapefruit in winter, so this is a great addition to my grapefruit repertoire;)
Should be a nice addition these next few mornings of the snow storm!
Hmmm, that sounds pretty good. I’ve been eating broiled grapefruits my whole life, but only one way. A little white sugar, and a cherry on top. The cherry adds such a nice extra flavor to the grapefruit. I’ll have to try it with basil and coconut now. Would love for you to come share this on Foodie Friday
