Ripe mangoes, a squeeze of lime, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a whisper of chili powder β that's really all it takes to make a snack that feels indulgent but is completely wholesome. The low-and-slow oven method transforms fresh fruit into deeply orange, pliable slices with a satisfying leathery chew that store-bought versions rarely match. For anyone navigating iodine restrictions, packaged dried fruit can be a minefield of additives and uncertain processing aids, so making your own at home puts you fully in control of every ingredient. Sea salt here is used in a small, measured amount, and the rest of the lineup is straightforward whole-food ingredients with nothing hidden. Cutting the slices to a uniform quarter-inch thickness is the real key to getting that perfect texture β evenly dried all the way through, pliable but not sticky. Once cooled and tucked into an airtight container, these keep beautifully and make an easy grab-and-go snack or a bright addition to a trail mix. The optional chili powder adds just enough heat to make the mango's natural sweetness pop in the best possible way.

Heat the oven to 175Β°F (80Β°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set a wire rack on top of each.
Peel and pit the mangoes, then cut each into slices about 1/4 inch thick. Uniform thickness is important β thicker pieces will remain soft in the center while thinner ones dry evenly.
