Grilled Mango Recipe

Mangoes: The star of the dish, providing a sweet and juicy base that becomes even more flavorful when grilled.

Honey: Adds a touch of sweetness and helps in caramelizing the mango slices on the grill.

Lime juice: Provides a zesty contrast to the sweetness of the mango and honey, enhancing the overall flavor.

When grilling mangoes, make sure they are ripe but still firm to maintain their shape and texture during cooking. To enhance the flavor, consider marinating the mango slices in the honey and lime juice mixture for about 10-15 minutes before grilling. This allows the mango to absorb the sweetness and citrus notes more deeply, resulting in a more flavorful dish.
