Notes
- Use pre-cut watermelon from the grocery store if you don’t feel like buying a whole one. You can purchase a watermelon wedge and slice it into thin slices.
- Serve these fries with anything you like on top, such as lime juice, Tajin, crumbled feta, or as is. You can make a delicious fruit dip if you wish as well.
