Also known as the king of fruits, mangoes are a great snack for kids.  They are high in vitamin C, vitamin B6, copper, potassium, vitamin A and fiber.  Moreover they taste great so its not hard to get your kids to eat them.

For this recipe, the cooking time really depends on how thick you slice the mango.  Somewhere around a 1/4" makes it so there's still a little juice in the middle after you cook them , If you cut them thinner, reduce your cooking time.  Also try to cut your strips so that they're even, if you have thinner areas (like the edges) then they'll brown faster.  I hope that your kiddos like them!


Prep time: 2 minutes
Cook time: 45-60 minutes, depending on strip thickness

1 large mango

Preheat oven to 250F.

With a pairing knife, peel the mango so that the rind is removed.  Then shave off 1/4 inch thick slices.  Place them on a metal cooling rack, then place the rack into the oven.  Bake 45-60 minutes, or until outside is thoroughly dried.  Enjoy!
