Steps:
- Preheat broiler. You can alternately use a toaster oven for this using a high temp.
- Prep grapefruit: Slice grapefruits in half. You may have to slice a tad bit off the bottom if your grapefruits don't stand straight. Use a grapefruit knife or a serrated paring knife and cut each segment so the pink flesh is cut away from the membrane. Next, gently par around the whole outside area of flesh cutting away from the rind. It will make your grapefruit eating a little easier and less messy.
- Assemble: Place each half, cut side up, on a rimmed cookie sheet or baking dish. Top each half with 1 teaspoon or so of coconut oil, 1 teaspoon or so of sugar, and a generous pinch of ginger. Use your fingers to blend and spread the ginger on the grapefruit halves.
- Broil: Place under the broiler and cook anywhere from 4 - 7 minutes. I find it best to set your timer for 2 minutes, check grapefruit, if sugar is not caramelized or there is no excessive charring of the grapefruit rind (white part), add another minute and repeat the process until sugar is caramelized and rind is gently colored but not overly burnt all around. If using shredded coconut, sprinkle on top of the grapefruit halves after the first 2 minutes. Once done, sprinkle with salt.
- Serve: Enjoy right away or let cool and serve at room temp.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread coconut on a cookie sheet and bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fragrant, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Heat oven broiler on high. Cut your grapefruits in half and place them cut-side-up on a rimmed cookie sheet. If they do not sit flat, cut a little off of the bottoms of the halves to create a flat surface.
- Place 1/4 cup coconut sugar in a small bowl. Add the ginger and rub the ginger into the sugar with your fingers.
- Crumble the gingered sugar evenly over each grapefruit half. Sprinkle 1 additional teaspoon coconut sugar over the tops of each half, taking care to cover any spots couldn't cover with the gingered sugar. Place in oven directly under broiler and broil until the sugar is bubble, melted, and golden in spots, about 5 minutes (but the time can really vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them from the get go and know it could take anywhere from 2 - 8 minutes).
- Remove from oven and sprinkle each half with the toasted coconut. Serve with spoons (serrated grapefruit spoons are great if you have them!)

Steps:
- Preheat your oven's broiler.
- Cut the grapefruits in half, and use a small serrated knife to cut out the sections in the halves. Spoon the sections and juice into a bowl, then scrape out all of the remaining thick skins and pulp. Spoon the sections from the bowl back into the halves. This is best done one half at a time.
- Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the top of each grapefruit half, adjusting as you see fit. Dot with butter. Place the halves on a cookie sheet.
- Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, until the butter is melted and sugar is starting to turn brown.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler.
- In an electric coffee/spice grinder combine sugar, ginger, and vanilla and ground fine.
- Halve each grapefruit crosswise and run knife around each section to loosen membranes. Arrange grapefruits, cut sides up, in a flameproof baking dish or baking pan just large enough to hold them in one layer and sprinkle with sugar mixture. Broil grapefruits about 1 1/2 inches from heat until sugar melts and tops begin to brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Serve grapefruits at room temperature.
Tips:
- Choose the right grapefruit: Select grapefruits that are heavy for their size, with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid fruits with blemishes or soft spots.
- Prepare the grapefruit properly: Cut the grapefruit in half crosswise, then use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, leaving the peel intact. Remove any remaining pith from the peel.
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger. Peel and grate the ginger just before using.
- Don't overcook the grapefruit: Broil the grapefruit for just a few minutes, until the flesh is slightly caramelized and the edges are slightly browned.
- Serve the grapefruit warm: Serve the grapefruit immediately after broiling, while it is still warm. This will help to preserve the flavor of the grapefruit.
