Mini Watermelon Snacks Ingredients
Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the complete details!
- Watermelon: Use a firm, sweet, and ideally seedless watermelon for the best results.
- Cucumber: Opt for an English or Persian cucumber. The circumference of the cucumber needs to be larger than the round cookie cutter.
- Sesame seeds: Black sesame seeds will look the most authentic. Wet a toothpick and use it to place each seed precisely.
How to Make Mini Watermelon Snacks
- Prepare the ingredients: Slice the watermelon and cucumber. Cut out watermelon discs with the round cutter. Repeat with the cucumber.
- Assemble: Remove the cucumber discs and replace them with watermelon.
- Halve the cucumber and watermelon discs and insert a toothpick into each half.
- Final details: Top with black sesame seeds.
Possible Variations
- Watermelon: Swap for yellow watermelon, cantaloupe, mango, or strawberry.
- Cucumber: No real alternative here.
- Sesame seeds: Chia seeds, nigella seeds, or omit.
Recipe Tip
Use your leftover cucumber slices in salads, juices, or poké bowls.
