Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup sugar
4 sprigs mint plus small leaves for garnish
1/2 teaspoon thinly sliced fresh red chile (such as jalapeño or Fresno)
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 5-pounds melon (such as honeydew), peeled, halved, seeded, cut crosswise into 1/4" slices
Coconut, mango, or lemon sorbet (optional)
1/2 teaspoon lime zest

  • Arrange melon slices in a 13x9x2" glass baking dish. Pour syrup over melon in baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
  • Divide melon slices among plates, overlapping them decoratively. Pour remaining syrup in dish into a small pitcher. DO AHEAD: Melon carpaccio can be made up to 5 hours ahead. Cover and chill melon and remaining syrup separately.
