Wash the watermelon thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt. Cut off the ends and slice away the rind.

Create 1-inch thick slabs of watermelon, ensuring the fruit is firm and juicy.

Slice each slab into 1-inch wide fry-shaped strips and pat them dry with paper towels.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey (or agave), and sea salt. Add chili powder if desired.

Place the fries in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Remove from the refrigerator, drain excess marinade, and arrange on a platter. Garnish with mint and basil leaves.

Serve immediately alongside lime wedges.
