1. Good intentions. Grapefruit is healthy! I want to make healthy whole foods readily available for my family. We have a big island in our kitchen and I try to always have at least two big bowls full of fruit and veggies on the counter for easy grab and go food. It also helps me to make better choices for meal plans when I look and see what we have that needs to be used.
2. It's cheaper to buy in bulk! I can get more for the money and it's something we should be eating anyway.
Maybe it was my modest upbringing, but I can not stand wasting food! So, noticing the bowl full of grapefruit sitting on my counter I decided it was time to consult Pinterest as to how put them to good use! I noticed this Broiled Grapefruit post right away, because it was so out of the box. I hadn't expected anything remotely close this. It looked interesting and - most importantly - EASY! So I decided to give it a shot.......and........success!! It is so GOOD that I don't know if I will ever be able to go back to eating it raw again!!
Here's How:
- Cut in half. Cut each section away from membranes and cut around the peel, just as you would do to enjoy raw. Be sure to cut thoroughly or it will stick.
- Sprinkle with Cinnamon and Sweetener. I used Truvia but you could use Coconut Sugar, Honey, Agave, etc.
- Place on top rack of oven and Broil until charred. Approximately 10 min.
- Let cool and enjoy!! Repeat as necessary ;) Shown here with my Coconut Flour Banana Pancakes :)
