How to make grilled watermelon?
To make this recipe you first need a ripe, juicy watermelon.
- Cut the watermelon into thick slices, approximately 1 to 2 centimetres thick. As this is a Sandía Fashion, you won’t have any problems with the small white seeds, so you can leave them in.
- Next, preheat your griddle to medium-high heat and make sure it’s nice and hot before you start.
- Place the watermelon slices directly on the hot griddle and cook for about 2 minutes on each side. The watermelon will begin to caramelise and acquire very appetizing grill marks.
Don’t worry if you see the watermelon soften a little, this is completely normal. Once the watermelon is ready, remove it from the griddle and place it on a plate.
