How to Make Watermelon Sticks
Start by cutting the watermelon in half lengthwise. Then, take each half and slice into vertical sticks, about 1 inch wide. Aim for uniformity for easy snacking! Once you’ve cut all the sticks, place them in a large bowl. Drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top for added flavor. Toss gently to coat. For an extra touch, you can add freshly chopped mint leaves!
Tips
- Choose a seedless watermelon for easier eating.
- Use cookie cutters for fun shapes if desired.
- Chill the watermelon in the fridge beforehand for an extra refreshing snack.
Make-Ahead
You can easily prepare the watermelon sticks a few hours in advance. Just store them in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to serve them.
Storing
Store any leftover watermelon sticks in an airtight container in the fridge. They can last up to 3 days, although they are best enjoyed fresh.
Freezing
While freezing watermelon is possible, it can change the texture and make it mushy. For best results, enjoy fresh!
Reheating
Watermelon sticks are best served cold, so there’s no need for reheating. Just take them straight from the fridge.
Serving Suggestions
Pair these watermelon sticks with a yogurt dip for added creaminess, or serve them with toothpicks at a summer party—it’s a hit with everyone! Keep them alongside other snacks like veggie sticks or cheese cubes for a delightful platter.
