Sweet and Savory Mango Spears RecipeDisclosuregraphiccompensationMango is one of those fruits that I’ve only recently started enjoying.  I don’t think I had that much exposure to it early on, but I love it and love sharing it with the kids.  If you are looking for a new way to try mango then you are going to love this sweet and savory mango spears recipe from Honey Bunches of Oats!  The boys really enjoy them and you can always adjust it depending upon likes and dislikes.  I honestly think that just about anything on a stick appeals to kids!  Ok, almost anything.  Here’s the super simple recipe:

Sweet and Savory Mango Spears Recipe

SWEET AND SAVORY MANGO SPEARS RECIPE

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal
  • 4 mangoes (I used pre-sliced Mango Spears)
  • 2 limes, zest and juice
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions:

  1. In a food processor, ground cereal into a fine powder. Set aside.
  2. Slice each mango lengthwise into 4 equal size pieces and remove outer skin. Insert a wooden stick into one end of each mango piece (I used skewers and cut them to size).
  3. In a small bowl, zest the limes. Add chili powder, salt and prepared ground cereal. Stir to combine.
  4. Slice limes and squeeze juice over the mango pieces. Sprinkle each mango piece with the chili and cereal blend. Serve immediately.

I love the little hint of spice that these have.  It’s just enough to make it interesting.  Like I said before, if you are not big on spice then just eliminate the chili powder!  Using the Honey Bunches of Oats as the coating gave it a simple sweet flavor and a subtle crunch.  Now I’m trying to come up with other things to coat this in!  I think it could be great on pineapple!

  1. I absolutely adore mangoes. I think this recipe sounds amazing 🙂

  3. Ooh I like this idea lot. I just used Honey Bunches of Oats for a different recipe and I have plenty left over. I love mangoes and that chili spice sounds good!

  7. These really do look good. I like sweet and savory combos so I need to try this recipe soon.

  11. My kids already love mango but this is a way to change it up every once in a while. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

  12. Both of our girls LOVE mango and this looks like an easy recipe! Will be giving it a try… Thanks!

  14. These look so good! Better yet, I like that they are on a stick. Kids tend to reach for skewered fruit faster than when it’s placed in a bowl.

  20. Mmmm that looks and sounds so amazing, especially with the crunch from the cereal. Summertime is the best. I love all of the fruit!

  21. I am so impressed by foodies like you – I would NEVER think to mix mangoes and cereal! Looks delish!

  22. I love mangoes…so sweet and delicious. I like the cereal crumble – giving the sweetness a little crunch. Great snack for summer!

  24. I totally gotta show this to my mom! She is obsessed with mangos so this with the honey bunches of oats incorporated into this would make her sooo happy!

  25. Now this is a treat that I can totally get behind. I’m constantly looking for things to eat that aren’t full of sugar. thanks
