Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe mangoes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 2 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the mangoes and slice them into thick wedges around the pit. Set aside.
In a medium non-stick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it becomes bubbly.
Add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt to the melted butter, stirring until the mixture is smooth and slightly caramelized (about 1 minute).
Gently place the mango slices into the skillet, making sure each piece is coated in the butter mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the mangoes are warmed through and slightly caramelized at the edges.
Transfer the buttered mango slices to a serving plate, drizzling any remaining sauce from the skillet on top.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
