Steps
You’ll need: rimmed baking sheet, paring or grapefruit knife.
- Set an oven rack about 4 inches from the broiler and heat the broiler.
- Rinse the grapefruit before cutting. Run a paring knife around each segment so it lifts out easily later.
- Set the halves cut side up on the baking sheet. Brush with butter if using. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the tops.
- Broil 4 to 6 minutes, watching closely, until the sugar bubbles and browns. Cool 2 minutes and serve with a spoon.
Make aheadSection the halves up to 1 day ahead; cover and refrigerate.
