This cinnamon broiled grapefruit recipe is a healthier dessert. All you need is 3 ingredients and 5 minutes.
I figured I should try and sneak in one or two healthier recipes before January’s over and everyone forget their healthy eating goals. I didn’t make any big eating goals this for this year, but for the past 2 months, I’ve been trying to eat at least 3 servings of vegetables a day.
I know that’s not a lot for a lot of you, but for me it has been a challenge. And I’m learning it’s a lot more effective for me to set goals related to consuming nutritious foods, than to set a restrictive diet. Try it if you’re struggling, it’s amazing how much less junk I eat because I’m filling up on veggies.
How to make broiled grapefruit
This is about the easiest dessert recipe you’ll come across. I grew up eating it for breakfast so it’s not to0 unhealthy of a choice either.
- First cut your grapefruit in half. If you want, cut along each section to separate the fruit from the membrane. This is optional, but I find it’s easier to scoop out the fruit after broiling
- Sprinkle on some sugar and cinnamon
- Pop under a preheated broiler for 3-5 minutes
- That’s it, enjoy while there still warm!
