How to make grilled watermelon?
To make this recipe, the first thing you need is a ripe, juicy watermelon.
- Cut the watermelon into thick slices, about 1 to 2 centimetres thick. As it’s Watermelon Fashion, you won’t have any trouble with the tiny white seeds, so you can leave them in without any problem.
- Next, preheat your griddle over a medium-high heat and make sure it’s properly hot before you start.
- Place the watermelon slices directly onto the hot griddle and cook them for about 2 minutes on each side. The watermelon will start to caramelise and develop some very appetising grill marks.
Don’t worry if you notice the watermelon softening a little – it’s perfectly normal. Once the watermelon is ready, remove it from the griddle and place it on a plate.
