]]> While it may not seem like the most obvious or natural thing to grill fruit, it’s actually a summer favorite and for many reasons. Not only does grilling change the fruit’s texture, but it brings out its sweetness and lends it an interesting smoky flavor that contrasts with the sugars.

So this summer, when you’re breaking out the grill for your steaks, kebabs, and corn on the cobs, try this grilled watermelon recipe, too. You’ll probably love it.

Ingredients:

  • Lime
  • Honey
  • Olive oil
  • Watermelon
  • Mint leaves
  • Sea salt

Directions:

Heat up a grill to medium heat. If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the juice and zest of a lime, honey, and olive oil. Whisk together.

Cut your watermelon into wedges or cubes according to your preference. Brush the liquid mixture all over the watermelon. Place the watermelon on the grill. Cook until the watermelon gets grill marks and the fruit softens. It should take about two minutes per side. Serve the watermelon with torn mint leaves and flaky sea salt sprinkled over top. Enjoy!

]]> If there is one fruit that says “summer,” it definitely has to be watermelon. This juicy, flavorful, and refreshing treat is best enjoyed throughout the summer months as this is when it tends to come into season.

While most of us probably tend to just slice up watermelon and eat it “normally,” there are plenty of options that you can choose to jazz it up! Here are some of my top picks.

Frozen

Watermelon is over 95% water, unsurprisingly, so one fantastic way to enjoy it is by freezing it and eating it as if it were a popsicle. You can cut them into cubes, put a piece of it on a stick, or freeze a whole slice in order to enjoy frozen watermelon in different ways.

Grilled

Believe it or not, grilling watermelon is another fantastic way to enjoy this fruit. Add lime zest, sugar, and a little bit of red pepper to a slice of the fruit, plop it onto the grill, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. You’ll be amazed at how sweet and savory it comes out tasting.

As a Juice

Watermelon can easily be made into a juice by putting it into a food processor or using a specialized fruit juicer in order to make a sweet, pleasant fruit juice that you will love chilled and drunk on a hot day.

]]> It might sound a bit crazy, but did you know that there are several fruits which taste great after being grilled? Even though we might not typically associate fruits with grilling, and certainly not all of them taste good after being cooked in this manner, there are some fruits that lend themselves to the smoky flavor of the grill.

Here are three that you should definitely try experimenting with!

Watermelon

Watermelon tastes great if prepared with a little bit of sugar and lime zest before putting it on the grill. If you’re looking to make it a little bit spicy, you can even try sprinkling on some red pepper flakes in order to give it a truly unique taste!

Pineapple

Pineapple is probably the most popular fruit to prepare in this manner, and with good reason. The smoky flavor that the grill imparts on this fruit is highly attractive, and the caramelization of the sugars also are a huge plus for the flavor.

Peaches

Grilled peaches are a fantastic side dish option and can also be the perfect complement to a dessert such as vanilla ice cream. Cinnamon sugar butter is often added to these peaches in order to give them a warm and delectable quality that you’ll never get tired of.
