Why Grill Watermelon? I didn’t start out thinking grilled watermelon was a thing. Honestly, I was just messing around with leftovers. Took a slice, threw it on the grill—resisting the urge to douse it with salt or sugar. The smell hit me first—smoky, sweet, like campfire marshmallows but more complex. The texture? Firmish, with tiny charred bits that stayed juicy inside, almost like a peach, but with the fresh pop of watermelon. It’s weird how much that smoky hint deepens the flavor, almost like it’s been sitting lakeside all afternoon. Right now, with summer hanging on by a thread, using … Read more
