Ingredients
Scale
- 1 inch Watermelon (seedless, cut into fry-shaped sticks)
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flakes (preferably toasted)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (for seasoning)
- 1 cup Coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.25 cup Shredded coconut (unsweetened, toasted)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the seedless watermelon into fry-shaped sticks about 1 inch thick and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Lightly sprinkle the watermelon fries with salt and toasted coconut flakes. Gently toss to coat evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until slightly crisp around the edges.
- While baking, prepare the coconut lime dip by whisking together coconut milk, lime juice, agave (if using), and shredded toasted coconut in a mixing bowl until smooth. Let it thicken for 2-3 minutes.
- Once baked, let the fries cool slightly before serving them on a platter with the dip on the side.
