Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium-sized seedless watermelon
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- ½ teaspoon chili powder (optional)
- ½ teaspoon salt (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Watermelon:
Cut the watermelon in half and remove the rind. Slice the watermelon into thick planks, about 1 inch wide. Then, cut the planks into long, fry-shaped pieces. - Season the Watermelon Fries:
In a small bowl, mix the lime juice, chili powder (if using), and salt. Drizzle the mixture over the watermelon fries and toss gently to coat. - Optional Sweet Drizzle:
For a touch of sweetness, drizzle honey over the watermelon fries. This step is optional but adds a nice contrast to the savory flavor of the chili powder and lime. - Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately as a refreshing snack or appetizer.
Notes
- You can skip the chili powder and salt if you prefer a sweeter version.
- To make it even more fun, serve the watermelon fries with a yogurt dip or a light fruit salsa.
- If you’re looking for a more exotic flavor, try sprinkling some Tajín seasoning over the fries for a zesty kick.
