It’s January, I’m psyched to eat healthy, and that includes eating more fresh fruit. But most of my favorite fruits are out of season and exorbitantly priced so I’ve stocked up on the more reasonably priced oranges, apples, and grapefruit.
But, plain grapefruit feels like “diet food” to me so I dress it up a little and turn into a treat that tastes like a decadent dessert but without the high calorie and fat count more desserts have.
Broiled grapefruit is easy and quick to make; and by my calculations a half of broiled grapefruit is just 1 Weight Watcher point (but check points values yourself to be sure).
BROILED GRAPEFRUIT
Ingredients:
1 grapefruit half
1 teaspoon brown sugar
cinnamon
optional: pinch of ground nutmeg and pinch of ground cloves
Turn oven to broil.
Section grapefruit with sharp knife, leaving it intact in the peel.
Sprinkle with brown sugar, a light dusting of cinnamon, and a small pinch of nutmeg and/or ground cloves if desired (a very small pinch of ground cloves – a little goes a long way).
Heat under broiler until sugar browns, about 5 minutes.
Eat and enjoy!
