Why This Dish Is Hard To Resist

This recipe combines the tartness of grapefruit with a crunchy, caramelized topping. It’s a quick and refreshing treat that feels fancy but is easy to make. The broiling brings out a natural sweetness, making it perfect for any time of day.

Directions

Gently heat up your oven’s broiler and move the rack so it’s about 6 inches from the heat. Carefully remove any seeds from the grapefruit, then use a sharp knife to loosen the sections from the membrane. Place the grapefruit halves cut side up in a baking dish. In a small bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add the butter and use a fork to mash everything together until the oats are coated and crumbly. Spread about half of this buttery oat mixture over each grapefruit half. Pop the dish under the broiler and keep an eye on it until the topping turns golden brown and crunchy, which should take around 10 minutes. Let it cool for a minute or two before digging in!
