vegetarianvegangluten-freedairy-freebreakfastdessert
Air fryer baked grapefruit is a quick and easy way to enjoy this healthy fruit. Brown sugar and cinnamon enhance the natural sweetness. This recipe includes simple instructions, ingredient amounts, and the exact air frying time.
Ingredients
- 2 grapefruits
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- pinch cinnamon
- Optional: drizzle of honey, a maraschino cherry on top for the vintage diner look
Steps
- 01Cut each grapefruit in half horizontally.
- 02Use a paring knife or grapefruit knife to loosen each segment from the membrane. Run the knife along both sides of each segment so they're easy to scoop with a spoon.
- 03Sprinkle the exposed flesh generously with brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon.
- 04Ready for the air fryer.
- 05Serve warm. The sugar caramelizes into a brulee-like crust.
Loosening the segments before cooking is the step that makes this actually enjoyable to eat instead of a wrestling match with a spoon. Do it before the sugar goes on, not after, or you'll knock the sugar off.
