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
- 0 optional vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or BBQ to medium-high heat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Brush the cut sides of the mangoes generously with the chili-lime glaze.
Step 5
Place the mango halves flesh-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the mangoes have caramelized grill marks.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the mangoes from the grill and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro for an added burst of flavor.
Step 8
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.
