Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm. (5 minutes)
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.
