Three ingredients are all you need to amp up your next summertime backyard BBQ. Grilling watermelon adds smokiness and is like a party in your mouth. If you experiment with different spices, keep the amount of sugar the same–you want the slices to caramelize and get good grill marks.

1/2 baby watermelon, cut into 8 (1-inch thick) triangles

Directions

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
