Ingredients

• 1 grapefruit, preferably pink or ruby
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
• Honey, for drizzling
• Ground cinnamon (optional)
• Flaky sea salt, for serving

Preparation

1. Step 1Move the rack 4 inches away from the broiler and turn it on.
   
2. Step 2Halve the grapefruit through the equator. Using a paring knife or a grapefruit knife, cut the sections away from the membranes and pith so they are easy to spoon up. Place grapefruit halves, cut-side up, on a baking sheet. Sprinkle each grapefruit half with 1 tablespoon brown sugar, then drizzle with melted butter and a little honey. Sprinkle cinnamon over the tops if you like.
   
3. Step 3Broil grapefruit until the sugar melts and caramelizes, 2 to 5 minutes. (Broilers vary a lot so watch carefully to make sure they don’t burn.) Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and serve immediately.
