I will almost dare to say that watermelon is just as good fresh and cold as it is grilled! When making grilled watermelon you just want it to get a few grill marks and warmish at the outside but still be crunchy and juicy on the inside. Making grilled watermelon pizza is both refreshing and delicious and a fun way of using watermelon other than raw. It is perfect to make for a warm summer day/night when you want a quick, easy and delicious snack or appetizer. This watermelon pizza comes together in only 10 minutes ad includes three main ingredients. Serve it as an appetizer, finger food, appetizer or include it in a sharing dinner. It is both gluten, grain free and low carb.
A few tips:
- Use a really hot grill or grill pan when making this watermelon pizza. You only want to grill/fry it for a 1-2 minutes on each side, just so it gets some grill marks and a bit warm on the outside. But you still want to keep it fresh, juicy and cold on the inside.
- I topped my pizza with feta cheese, strawberries, thick balsamic vinegar and pecan nuts. But its also delicious to top with goat cheese, honey/agave, prosciutto or any other savory ingredients that pairs well with watermelon.
- I would recommend you not to prepare this dish in advance. It really taste better and has the right texture and consistency when it is served straight from the grill.
