How to Cut a Watermelon into Perfect Sticks
5 mins prep
Cutting watermelon into sticks is a clever hack that looks just as good as it tastes. Impress your guests with a beautiful platter of perfectly portioned watermelon that’s both practical and refreshing.
0 Place the washed watermelon on a large cutting board, then slice off both ends (the top and bottom) to create flat surfaces.
5 Start from the top and carefully slice downward following the curve of the fruit to remove the rind and the white flesh beneath it. Rotate the watermelon as you go until all the rind is removed.
4 Stand the watermelon upright on one of the flat ends. Cut it straight down the middle to create two large halves.
3 With the watermelon half still flat on the board, cut it into even slices about ½ inch thick.
2 Turn the watermelon 90°. Slice again, this time about 1 inch apart, to create long stick-like pieces.
1 Repeat with the second half of the watermelon. You’ll have uniform, juicy sticks that are easy to grab and eat!
