Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Cantaloupe
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 6 leaves Fresh Mint Leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Cut the cantaloupe into thick wedges, about 1 inch wide, and remove the seeds and rind.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and a pinch of salt. Brush the mixture lightly onto both sides of each cantaloupe wedge.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Ensure it's clean and lightly greased to prevent sticking.
Place the cantaloupe wedges on the hot grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the cantaloupe becomes slightly caramelized. Avoid overcooking to prevent it from turning mushy.
While the cantaloupe is grilling, finely chop the mint leaves and set them aside.
Once the cantaloupe is grilled, transfer the wedges to a serving platter.
Drizzle the honey evenly over the grilled cantaloupe wedges.
Sprinkle the chopped mint leaves on top for a pop of freshness.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze a light drizzle of lime juice over the dish to enhance the flavors.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a refreshing side or a simple dessert.
