Watermelon Fries

Watermelon Fries: The Snack You Didn’t Know You Needed 🍉🍟

Hey, have you ever had watermelon that’s so good, you kinda want to eat it for every meal? Like, I’m talking about turning it into funky fries that are basically summer on a plate!

Okay, so you know I’m obsessed with TikTok recipes, right? I stumbled upon this gem called Watermelon Fries and I was like, “Why didn’t I think of this sooner?!” It’s super simple, healthy, and, oh my gosh, the kids (and let’s be real, me too) went bananas over them! If you’ve got a watermelon sitting in your kitchen, you NEED to turn it into fries. Seriously.

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, here’s the grocery list for this magical snack:

– 1 half of a LARGE watermelon (because, duh, the bigger the better!)
– ½ cup vanilla yogurt (I mean, the good stuff, right?)
– 1 cup strawberries (just the juicy ones—make sure to ditch the green stuff)
– 1 TB honey (sweetness level: max)

You can totally mix and match the yogurt flavor, too! I’ve used peach and it was delish, but vanilla is a classic.

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

So, get this—last summer, I made these for a BBQ, right? And my uncle, who normally only eats meat and potatoes (seriously, he’s like a walking steak), tried them. I was like, “Just take a bite!” And then he gobbled them up and asked for seconds! My aunt was just staring at him like he grew another head. 😂 Ever since then, it’s been a staple in my house. It’s just a fun way to eat fruit, and they’re so refreshing—especially when it’s blazing hot outside.

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Here’s the secret sauce, literally: don’t skip the crinkle cutter for those fries! It makes them look all fancy and fun! Seriously, it’s like the magical wand of kitchen tools. You just glide it through the watermelon and boom! Fries! Also, you feel like a total pro, trust me.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

Okay, listen up. Don’t cut the watermelon too thin or you’ll end up with watermelon chips, which—while still tasty—aren’t what we’re going for here. Aim for 1/2 inch. Also, when you’re cutting, be careful! Watermelon juice can get slippery AF. I’ve almost wiped out in my kitchen more than once, and I’d rather not faceplant while making snacks, ya know?

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

If by some miracle you have leftovers (which, honestly, never happens), just pop them in an airtight container in the fridge. But fair warning: they’ll start to lose their fun texture after a day, so try to eat ‘em all at once! Pro tip: sprinkle a little lime juice on top before storing. It keeps them fresh and adds a nice zing!
