Sweet, tangy, and just a little addictive, these slow-dried mango slices hit every note you want from a chewy snack. Ripe mangoes get tossed in a bright mix of lime juice, maple syrup, and sea salt before spending a few low-and-slow hours in the oven β the result is deeply orange, pliable, and packed with concentrated tropical flavor. If you want a gentle kick, a pinch of chili powder takes the whole thing somewhere unexpected without overwhelming the fruit. Nightshade avoiders often have to skip the chili entirely, and the good news is that this recipe is completely delicious either way β just leave it out and the lime and maple do all the heavy lifting. Store-bought dried mango can hide surprising additives, so making your own means you know exactly what went into every slice. The low oven temperature does the work gradually, coaxing out moisture while keeping that satisfying leathery chew intact. Once cooled and tucked into an airtight container, they make an easy snack you'll want to keep on hand all week.

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.
