Broiled Grapefruit with Cinnamon and Honey
I just want to start out by saying, this is a Kelsey approved recipe. That’s right, I got my two-year-old to eat grapefruit. She actually exclaimed after every. single. bite. “mmm yummy!” I must be dreaming right? I still can’t believe it. I’m going to have to ride this grapefruit train as long as it will last!
I really love these gorgeous ruby red Florida grapefruit. They’re so fresh and juicy. They’re in their peak season from January through March so NOW is the time to enjoy these gems! Florida grapefruit is the sweetest and juiciest grapefruit in the world guys. Not to mention, they’re an incredibly healthy food – full of essential nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium and fiber. If you haven’t tried it, you are missing out! I love this grapefruit broiled. Warming the grapefruit makes the juicy pulp just swell and burst from all that juice – you can literally see how swollen it gets from all the juice.
While these Florida grapefruit may not be winning any beauty awards, they sure are winners in the taste category. The key to making these grapefruit so delicious, juicy and sweet are the fertile Florida soil and subtropical climate. The weather can take a toll on the fruit’s exterior, but the inside is where the magic is. Cut one open and you’ll see what I mean, gorgeous red citrus flesh full of juice and ready to eat!
I’m so glad I’ve discovered another fruit Kelsey will eat. The cinnamon and honey compliment the grapefruit so well. It’s like a flavor explosion in your mouth. These sweet and juicy grapefruit are a snack that I’ll never say no to. Enjoy!

What a great idea! I’m definitely going to have to try this one, I think the kids will love it, too!
I do like grape fruit, but never thought of adding cinnamon to it – I will give it a try.
The cinnamon adds such a great flavor!
Thanks for sharing this! I tweeted and pinned your entry to our Gluten Free Fridays board on Pinterest! 🙂 I can’t wait to see what you share next time!

Love the sound of this, Sharon! I’m going to feature it at this weekend’s Savoring Saturdays. Thanks so much for sharing with us!
So simple and fresh – I love it. I just moved from South Florida to Georgia, and I am missing my fresh fruit. I will be trying this soon!
These look delicious! I have about a dozen grapefruit I need to use, thank you for sharing your recipe!
Try topping this grapefruit with Soom tahini mixed with honey. It’s an amazing mix of flavors and so healthy!
This is a great recipe! I’d love it if you would share it on my new corn-free link party. http://www.creatingsilverlinings.com/corn-free-everyday-feb-01-2015/
I have a grapefruit in my fruit bowl right now that’s just waiting to be broiled with cinnamon and honey 🙂 Thanks for linking this up to Gluten Free Wednesdays!

I live in Florida and a neighbor just gave me a huge bag of fresh picked grapefruit. I am going to make this recipe this morning for breakfast. I sounds SO good!
So jealous, I’m currently buried in 2 ft of snow in NE. Wish I was in the sunshine state!
Loving your minimalist recipes lately, Sharon! 🙂 Grapefruit is one of my breakfast favorites — I usually have it raw, but broiled grapefruit sounds delicious! I’ll definitely have to give this a try.
Thanks Audrey! I’ve been so busy lately that this is pretty much all I’ve been able to make! My husband and daughter are both celebrating milestone birthdays this weekend (1 and 30) so I’ve been super busy trying to get everything ready for their party – then I’ll be back to my regular baking. But maybe I’ll try to do a few recipes like this every month.
This looks so good! I have always, always wanted to try broiling grapefruit, but for some reason, never gotten around to it. And now the kids eat up the fresh ones before I have a chance. 😛 Not that I’m complaining – I’m glad they like it!
That’s great that your kids eat them fresh!
You know, I’ve been wanting to try broiled grapefruit for years but never have, mostly because the majority of the recipes out there call for cane sugar.
What is the primary difference using honey? I’m interested in trying. 🙂
Using sugar will give it a more caramelized top but I wanted to stay away from the sugar and use a natural sweetener. I’m also slightly obsessed with honey – it’s one of my favorite flavors 🙂
Grapefruit is one of my favorite foods. I keep seeing people broil them and they look so delicious. I think I might need to try this recipe out!
I love how warm and juicy the grapefruit gets when broiled – I’m sure you’ll love it if you’re already a grapefruit fan 🙂
I love the idea of adding cinnamon here! Definitely trying this. Your photos are really gorgeous!
Thanks Faith!
I forgot how easy and delicious it is to broil grapefruit! I wonder if my little one would like this too…she hasn’t met a piece of fruit she doesn’t like yet! 😀
So easy, and fast! Isn’t it great when kids eat the good stuff?!
I love grapefruit so much. When I was a kid we ate it broiled with brown sugar a lot but I haven’t made it in forever. Thanks for the reminder! I love the idea of honey and cinnamon!
Brown sugar sounds so good!
