Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter (for grilling)
- 2 sprigs fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat.
Peel the mangoes and slice off the cheeks (the rounded sides of the mango on either side of the pit). You should end up with four large pieces, plus some trimmings from the edges if desired.
In a small bowl, mix the honey, lime juice, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Lightly brush the mango slices with olive oil or melted butter to prevent sticking.
Place the mango slices flesh-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the flesh develops grill marks and starts to caramelize.
Flip the mango slices and grill for another 2-3 minutes until slightly softened and grill marks appear on the other side.
Remove the grilled mango slices from the grill and drizzle with the honey-lime mixture while still warm.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately as a dessert, side dish, or topping for yogurt, ice cream, or salads.
