For a deeper flavor, try using dark brown sugar or adding a pinch of cinnamon or ginger to the brown sugar before broiling. A touch of butter, about 1/2 teaspoon per grapefruit half, can add richness and enhance the caramelization. Be sure to monitor the grapefruit closely while broiling, as broilers can vary in intensity. Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

The broiling intensifies the natural sugars, creating a bubbly, browned top that's irresistible.
