Watermelon isn't as simple as it might seem. It can be used to make a variety of drinks and snacks, and even a snack called jerky. While jerky is traditionally a dried chunk of meat, dried watermelon also takes on a similar texture and appearance. Both kids and adults will love these bites. To make jerky, thinly slice seedless watermelon and bake it in the oven at low temperatures for several hours. You can sprinkle the finished watermelon jerky with your favorite spices if desired.
