Easy Spicy Grilled Watermelon
I love the combination of spicy and sweet in the summer.
There’s nothing better than delicious, crispy fresh watermelon- and pulling it on the grill just pulls out a rich, deeper sweetness- one that goes perfectly with a spicy, lime kick from fruit seasoning!
This is a perfect, easy, and quick side dish- and a great dessert- either on it’s own, or with a little creme fraiche drizzled on top. It’s always a huge crowd pleaser!
These are sure to be a delicious, addictive treat at your parties this summer!
To make this you will need:
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- sea salt, to garnish
- 1 watermelon, sliced into triangles
- 3 tbsp Tajin clasico chile lime seasoning
- Creme fraiche, optional
Use This Method
Preheat gas or charcoal grill to medium high.
Slice watermelon and sparingly sprinkle salt on top.
Make sure grill grates are clean of any leftover food residue. Generously oil grill grates with coconut oil (i like to add some to a rag and rub over the grill with it, taking extreme care to not burn hands.)
Add watermelon to grill and sprinkle seasoning on top. After 5 minutes, flip to other side, and sprinkle more seasoning.
When watermelon has slight char marks and has turned a darker reddish pink, remove and serve immediately.

It looks really strange. I can’t imagine what it will taste like when the sweet watermelon is grilled and seasoned with spicy spices. Maybe I’ll try this one day. Hope it’s delicious.

You only lightly grill the watermelon to give it a smoky bite and the heat goes very well with refreshing watermelon; hope you do give it a try!
