Our first Super Sunday watermelon recipe is one we\u2019ve posted in the past, but it\u2019s deep fried, and that\u2019s always a good thing on game day, which is why we\u2019re posting it again.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

DEEP-FRIED WATERMELON<\/strong><\/h3>\n

INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 seedless watermelon (6 to 8 pounds)
\n3 cups vegetable or canola oil for deep frying
\n1\/2 cup cornstarch (corn flour)
\n2 egg whites, beaten
\n2 teaspoons water
\n3\/4 cup flour
\nPowdered sugar for garnish
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

DIRECTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cut watermelon in half lengthwise. Cut each half in two again lengthwise, leaving a total of four long triangular-shaped wedges. Remove the rinds, cut into one-inch thick slices, then cut the flesh into about one-inch triangles. (Basically, just cut the watermelon up into one-inch square pieces.)<\/p>\n

Heat oil to 350 degrees in a deep fryer. You can also use a wok if you don\u2019t have a fryer.<\/p>\n

Whisk cornstarch with egg whites and water until combined. Dredge watermelon chunks in the flour, then coat with the cornstarch batter. Deep fry in batches (leaving enough room in between pieces for them to properly brown) until watermelon chunks are golden.<\/p>\n

Remove from oil and drain well. Sprinkle deep-fried watermelon with a dusting of powdered confectioners\u2019 sugar. Serve immediately while still crispy and hot. I\u2019m just guessing here, but BE CAREFUL! Because watermelon is 92 percent water, these little morsels of goodness might be very hot inside, so proceed with caution!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
