Honey Roasted Grapefruit

Honey for this post was kindly provided by Mohawk Valley Trading Company. All opinions are my own.

Honey roasted grapefruits bring a whole new flavor to the winter citrus season. I enjoy them warm, straight from the oven, as a bright and healthy addition to breakfast or dessert.

In this recipe, I used the tasty Goldenrod Honey from Mohawk Valley Trading Company, which has a bright and floral taste, and, as I said aloud when tasting it for the first time, “tastes like springtime.”

It doesn’t get easier than this recipe. Cut the grapefruits in half, slice out the segments to make for easy eating, top with honey and brown sugar, and pop them in the oven. Voila!

Grapefruits are known for being tart and almost sour, but once they’re roasted with honey and a bit of sugar, that all changes. They become dynamic, warm, and sweet.
