Instructions

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Brush both sides of the watermelon slices with olive oil.
Season lightly with sea salt and black pepper.
Place watermelon slices on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the melon is slightly softened.
Remove from the grill and drizzle with honey or balsamic glaze if desired.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately.

Grilled watermelon can also be chopped and added to salads for a smoky, sweet element.
Experiment with a sprinkle of chili powder or lime juice for added flavor.
