Confession: I'm not a huge fan of grapefruit. I want to like it and I've tried to like it, but for some reason, my taste buds won't allow me to get over the sour after-taste this popular fruit leaves in my mouth!
Grapefruit is really good for you, as most fruits are, but it aids the body in more ways than others. Did you know that it increases your metabolism, is low in sodium and pushes excess water out of your body, resulting in weight loss? In fact, there is even a diet out there consisting of eating just grapefruit! It's also rich in Licopene, aiding in the prevention of cancer. And last, but not least, it's a great source of Vitamin C, which can lead to radiant skin! Bonus!

But recently, Joy the Baker, posted about broiling grapefruit with a touch of brown sugar and ginger on top. She said it was "super delicious" and described it as "grapefruit creme brulee."

Broiled Grapefruit
Ingredients
1 Grapefruit, sliced in half
3 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
Directions
Turn the broiler on. Place the grapefruit halves on a baking sheet, lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the sliced pieces, one tablespoon at a time. Note: Allow the brown sugar to dissolve into the juice and meat of the grapefruit before adding additional amounts.
Broil for 7-9 minutes, turning the pan half-way through. Note: While broiling, prop the open door open slightly to allow the fruit to broil evenly.
Yield: 1 Serving
