Caramelized Grapefruit + Basil and Honey is the perfect way to use in-season grapefruits!
If you guys haven’t picked up grapefruits from the store yet, you need to ASAP. They are perfectly in-season right now and just waiting to be taken home with you. I have always loved grapefruit, so I was excited to buy a couple last weekend and see what I could come up with. A grapefruit challenge – my kind of weekend (yes, I am aware I am super lame). But, I am really, really happy with the two recipes I came up with, including this one, and I can’t wait to share the other one with you soon!!!!
As you can tell, this recipe for Caramelized Grapefruit + Basil and Honey is pretty simple and easy, but so flavorful! You start by simply cutting your grapefruit in half and then sprinkling with sugar (I actually used coconut sugar). Then broil it in the oven on a cookie sheet for 3-5 minutes or until the sugar starts to caramelize.
Take out of the oven and then drizzle with a little honey and some chopped basil.
You can eat it right out of the rind or pull out the sections and eat over greek yogurt.
Talk about up’in your breakfast game. Right now this and the blackberry compote + greek yogurt or my two new favorites — we have been having breakfast for dinner a lot in our house lately. It’s just too good. Too good.
Do you guys have any favorite ways to eat grapefruit???
So delicious!
