Coarse Salt
Separate seeds from flesh. Wash thoroughly in a sieve. Spread seeds out on a tray lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle over coarse salt. Stick in an oven at 350F for 30-40 minutes or until crunchy.
Alternatively, separate, wash, and spread seeds on parchment as above. Leave on the counter for a couple of days until naturally dried. Spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt. Throw in over 325F for 10-15 min.

ReplyDeleteThanks Ms. Angie! This was really an experiment to see how far I could take the watermelons that I had from our CSA. I have one more bath of Ginger & Watermelon Preserves to make and two more watermelons to deal with and I will be done for the year with the melons. Thanks for stopping by!
