Delicious Deep-Fried Watermelon Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

We usually eat watermelon simply cut into triangles. But fried watermelon? Believe it or not, it works and it tastes delicious It may not be a healthy thirst-quencher, but it is a unique delicacy. Frying watermelon utilizes the same technique as frying many other types of food. First, the watermelon is dipped into a light batter, then placed in hot oil, and then topped with powdered sugar as a finishing touch. This recipe calls for cutting the watermelon flesh into pieces, but if you'd like it to resemble a carnival snack you can cut into triangles and insert a stick through the rind before coating and frying. Like most fried foods, this is best served immediately while warm and crisp.
