Air Fryer Caramelized Grapefruit
Air Fryer Caramelized Grapefruit pairs tart, juicy segments with a warm, buttery brown sugar crust kissed with cinnamon. The quick blast of heat creates a lightly crackled top and concentrates the grapefruit’s brightness for a sweet-tart balance. Serve it for a cozy brunch, a light dessert, or a refreshing snack when you want something simple yet special.

Cut the grapefruit in half. If the halves don't sit flat, slice a thin sliver off the bottom of each. With a sharp paring knife, cut around the outer edge of each half between the skin and the fruit, then cut between each segment to make it easier to eat after cooking.

Mix the softened butter with 3 teaspoons brown sugar in a small bowl. Spread the mixture over each grapefruit half, then sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar.

Set each grapefruit half on a 5-inch square of aluminum foil. Fold the foil edges up around the fruit to catch any juices, then place them in the air fryer basket.

Broil in the preheated air fryer until the sugar mixture is bubbling, 6 to 7 minutes. Sprinkle the fruit with cinnamon before serving.
