Directions

Prepare the Watermelon

• Slice the watermelon into thick rounds, then cut each round into large, steak-like pieces. Pat the watermelon dry with paper towels to reduce moisture.

Season and Grill

• Brush each watermelon slice lightly with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Heat a grill to medium-high. Place the watermelon steaks directly on the grill grates and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the surface begins to caramelize.

Serve and Garnish

• Remove the watermelon from the grill and arrange on a serving platter. Drizzle with balsamic glaze or sprinkle with crumbled feta for a savory touch, if desired. Garnish with fresh herbs for an extra pop of color and flavor.
