Grilled Mango with Honey and Pistachios Recipe

Grilling mangos brings out their natural sweetness. Just drizzle them with a little honey and a sprinkle of chile powder for a fast and easy grilled dessert or side dish.

Summertime is not the time for heavy desserts around these parts.  I like to go a little lighter by throwing some fruit on the grill to caramelize the natural sugars without adding any additional sugar.  Grilled mangos are my personal favorite but grilling pineapple and peaches make a fantastic dessert too.

Serve the grilled mangos with a nice green salad or pile it on top of a bowl of ice cream.  Don’t forget the spritz of lime juice!

I’ve added this recipe to the Clean Eating Challenge that I am co-hosting with a great group of other bloggers who want to make it easy for our families and foodie friends to find good, healthy recipes to help their families “clean up”  the food they are eating and find new, healthy additions to the family table.

Author: Sandy Hoopes

Recipe type: Dessert or Side Dish

Cuisine: Southwest

Serves: 3 to 6

Ingredients

• 3 large, ripe mangos
• 2 tablespoons mesquite honey
• 2-3 tablespoons chopped pistachios
• Pinch of New Mexico Chile powder or red chile flakes
• 1 large lime cut into wedges

Instructions

1. Cut the large "cheeks" off of each side of the mango. Peel each mango cheek with a pairing knife and cut into large cubes (usually 6 cubes per cheek, depending on the size of the mango).
2. Place six cubes of mango on each skewer.
3. Grill over a preheated bbq grill or grill pan until grill marks are as dark as you would like. If the mango are soft and ripe, only grill one side of the mango. Try to grill them quickly so the mangos do not become too soft.
4. Place mango skewers on a serving plater.
5. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with pistachios and chile powder.
6. Serve with lime wedges to spritz on the mango skewers.
