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.
