- One 1 inch slice of watermelon, cut into four triangles
- One 1 inch slice of pineapple, cut into four slices and core removed
- 2 apricots, halved and stone removed
- 2 peaches, halved and stone removed
- 1 mango, cut along stone (eat the part with the stone attached while preparing food 😄)
- 1 lemon, cut into three slices (optional)
- 1 lime, cut into three slices (optional)
- Toppings like ice cream, herbs, honey, feta cheese, etc.
Start your charcoal or wood fire grill (or add more fuel if already used for main course)
Cut your fruits in chunky pieces (so they won't fall through the grate)
Brush fruits with a heat-resistant neutral oil, like grapeseed (optional)
Once your charcoal or wood is ready, add lightly oiled cooking grate and wait a few minutes to heat up (that will give you the nice looking grill marks)
Add fruits and cook about three minutes per side. If they char too quickly, move them to a cooler area on the grill.
Remove from heat and create your dessert by adding your favorite toppings
⭐ Tip: Cooking over fire is not exactly an exact science. Use your senses. If your fruit is getting too much heat, move it to a cooler spot. If your fruit is not getting enough heat, move it to a hotter spot. Three minutes should be looked at as a guideline and not a timer.
