  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 medium seedless watermelon
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt, to taste
– Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
– Feta cheese or goat cheese (optional, for topping)
– Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)


Instructions

Creating Grilled Watermelon is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps to achieve the perfect grill marks and flavors:

1. Preheat the Grill: Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
2. Prepare the Watermelon: Cut the watermelon into 1-inch thick slices. You can cut circular slices or wedges, depending on your serving preference.
3. Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush both sides of each watermelon slice with olive oil. This will help create those attractive grill marks and prevent sticking.
4. Season: Sprinkle a pinch of salt on each side of the watermelon slices to enhance their natural sweetness.
5. Grill the Watermelon: Place the slices directly on the preheated grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until grill marks form and the watermelon becomes slightly softened.
6. Remove and Plate: Carefully remove the grilled watermelon from the grill and place it on a serving platter.
7. Add Toppings: If desired, crumble feta or goat cheese over the hot watermelon slices. You can also drizzle balsamic glaze for an extra burst of flavor.
8. Garnish: Top with fresh mint leaves to add a touch of color and freshness.
9. Serve: Enjoy the grilled watermelon warm or at room temperature as a delicious sweet and savory treat!

Following these steps will help you create a fantastic dish that dazzles with flavors and aesthetics. Each bite promises the incredible combination of sweet fruit with savory accents, making it a crowd favorite.
