Instructions
- 1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- 2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups of water and 1 cup of sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- 3. Pour 1 cup of the sugar syrup into a small bowl and set aside.

- 6. Slice the watermelon into thick wedges. Brush each side of the watermelon slices with the reserved sugar syrup and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- 7. Place the watermelon slices on the grill and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until grill marks appear and the watermelon is slightly caramelized.
