This is an odd little recipe that Kristi found on Pinterest. Kristi has always been intrigued with the fact that I hate fruit and eat so very little of it. About a year ago she convinced me to eat half a grapefruit every day for a week... longest week of my entire life. I've never liked citrus fruit - especially oranges, nectarines, or grapefruit. However, I do enjoy lemons and limes when it comes to cookings. Anyway... I was visiting Kristi the other day and she just had to see if I liked this baked grapefruit.
I was immediately hesitant. Baking it didn't seem like it was going to help.
Kristi took half a grapefruit, ran a knife around the sections, and put in on a lined pan. She sprinkled the top with cinnamon and liberally caked brown sugar over the cinnamon.
We put it in a 350 degree oven for about 18-20 minutes.
This is what came out of the oven.
I can't lie and say I enjoyed it - it still tasted very grapefruity! But it was a definite improvement over a raw grapefruit :) If you like grapefruit to begin with, you will love this easy, naturally, gluten free recipe. It's fruit - so you can eat it for breakfast! Or dessert I suppose.
Enjoy!
