Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe mangoes
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- optional vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Instructions
Preheat your grill or BBQ to medium-high heat.
Slice the mangoes lengthwise on either side of the pit to create two large halves per mango. Use a small knife to score a diamond pattern into the flesh of the mango while being careful not to cut through the skin.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, honey, olive oil, and sea salt to make the chili-lime glaze.
Brush the cut sides of the mangoes generously with the chili-lime glaze.
Place the mango halves flesh-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the mangoes have caramelized grill marks.
Flip the mangoes skin-side down and brush them again with more chili-lime glaze. Cook for an additional 2–4 minutes until the mangoes are tender and warmed through.
Remove the mangoes from the grill and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro for an added burst of flavor.
Serve warm as-is for a healthy snack or dessert, or pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
