- ¼ cup agave
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 medium watermelon cut into 1 inch thick wedges
- 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Soak 4 large popsicle sticks for at least an hour.
In a small bowl, mix together the honey, lime juice, cayenne pepper and salt.
In another small bowl, mix together the coconut and lime zest.
Preheat the grill to medium high heat.
Using a knife, carefully cut a small incision into the rind of the watermelon. Insert the popsicle stick into the hole.
Brush both sides of the watermelon slices with the agave mixture and grill for about 2 minutes per side until deep grill marks appear.
Remove from the heat, brush again with more of the mixture, then dip into the coconut lime mixture.
