How to Make Broiled Pink Grapefruit

Preheat your broiler.
Cut one pink grapefruit in half through the center widthwise.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice between the pith and the fruit to loosen the segments from the peel. Be careful not to cut through the peel.
Gently separate the grapefruit segments with a knife, making sure to not cut all the way through the bottom peel. This will help the sugar caramelize more easily.
Sprinkle each grapefruit half generously with 1-2 teaspoons of granulated sugar.
Place the grapefruit halves cut-side up on a baking sheet.
Broil on high for 10-25 minutes, keeping a close eye on them. Broiling time will depend on your oven and desired level of caramelization. The sugar should be lightly caramelized and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
