Grilling watermelon brings its natural sugars to the surface and caramelizes them slightly, making it a perfect light dessert for a hot summer night. Step up your game and provide a variety of spices, such as aleppo pepper, cayenne pepper or smoked sea salt, for your guests to garnish their watermelon as they please.

Transfer watermelon to a platter.
Sprinkle with additional salt if desired and serve with a dollop yogurt, if using.
