Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
• 1 teaspoon chile paste (I like Sambal Oelek)
• Zest of ½ of a lime
• Juice of ½ of a lime
• Pinch of sea salt
• 8 small triangular wedges of seedless watermelon, about ½-inch thick

Directions

• In a small bowl, combine the oil, chile paste, lime zest and juice, and a pinch of salt.
• Place the watermelon slices in one layer on a baking sheet.
• Preheat a stove-top or outdoor grill.
• Use a whisk to make sure the chile-lime mixture is well blended, and then drizzle about half of it over the watermelon. Flip the slices over, and drizzle the rest on the other side.
• Once the grill is very hot, add the watermelon slices, being sure there is at least an inch or so between them. (If you dont hear a sizzling sound when the fruit hits the grill, its not hot enough. Wait for the sizzle!)
• Grill just long enough to mark the watermelon, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip them over, and only grill the other side for about 30 seconds. (We want the watermelon to keep its crunch.)
• Serve!
