Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Large Watermelon

Instructions

  1. Select and Chill the Watermelon: Begin by picking out the perfect watermelon. For optimal flavor, chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
  2. Wash and Dry: Once your watermelon is chilled and ready, rinse it gently under cool water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  4. Stand It Up: Place the watermelon upright on one end on a cutting board.
  5. Slice into Quarters: Cut down through the center of the watermelon, creating two halves, and then cut each half into quarters.

  7. Cut into Sticks: Cut each wedge into long stick shapes, about half an inch thick.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh mint, lime juice, chili powder, or sea salt over the watermelon sticks and arrange them on a platter.

Notes
