Broiled Grapefruit with Brown Sugar and Yogurt

I’m not sure what it is about being pregnant, but I either crave salty foods or sour, citrus-y foods.  Lately, it’s the citrus stuff I can’t get enough of.  So I’ve been buying absurd amounts of grapefruits, oranges, tangerines, lemons, and limes.  Sometimes, I even slice into those lemons and limes and just suck on a wedge or two to satisfy the craving.  Weird, no?

Don’t worry, you don’t have to be pregnant to enjoy this Broiled Grapefruit though.  We had it over the weekend for breakfast and the hubby raved about it.  It’s something I’d seen before but I guess it just took being pregnant to get me to try it.  I’m so glad I did.  

 

This just takes a few minutes to prepare and only needs a few minutes to broil in the oven.  Just sprinkle some brown sugar and cinnamon over each half of the grapefruit and broil for a few minutes.

 
Then, if you really want it to be tasty, put a dollop of non-fat plain yogurt over the top or even Greek yogurt.  I’m telling you, this is what makes it really good.  The grapefruit is is so sweet from the brown sugar and cinnamon you really don’t need a sweetened or flavored yogurt.  
 
 

 

Broiled Grapefruit with Brown Sugar & Yogurt
 
Ingredients
2 large grapefruit
2 tbsp brown sugar  
Dash of cinnamon
1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
Instructions
Preheat oven to broil. 
Cut each grapefruit in half crosswise.  Using a small knife or paring knife, loosen grapefruit segments by cutting along the rind and between each segment. Make sure not to cute too deep puncturing through the rind. 
Line a baking sheet with foil and place the grapefruit halves on the sheet, citrus side up. 
Sprinkle 1/2 tbsp brown sugar over each grapefruit half, then top each with a dash of cinnamon. 
Broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes or until tops brown slightly. 
Top each grapefruit half with an 1/8 cup yogurt (more if desired)  and serve while hot.

  4. Kristy, this looks amazing! I ate about 10lbs of grapefruit a week when I was pregnant…and miraculously I still love it. I’ve never thought to broil it – you are a genius.
