A palate cleansing, citrusy-sweet dessert of baked grapefruit.
By Olivia Caminiti
A refreshing dessert of intensified flavors and warm flesh of a baked grapefruit. Four-years ago I had my first baked grapefruit, as a snack with tea, at a Roebling Tea Room in Brooklyn. It was citrusy and sweet on my palate as it lit up my mind with wonder of the genius behind this dish. I have seen baked grapefruit popping up in more places since I had my first encounter but because it is so easy to make, why not just have it whenever I want? My best friend Bianca, being as in-tune as she is with me, showed up to my house one evening with ingredients in hand to make baked grapefruit. It was a dessert snack that hit the spot! This dish could be a dessert, a Sunday Funday breakfast, or a snack. Switch it up each time you make it too! Different jams, some simple spices, or whatever else comes to mind.
