Broiled Mango with Greek Yogurt |Cooking With Amanda

How many siblings do you have?

I've got just one and she's pretty fantastic. Though I didn't always think that.

Growing up my sister would torture me, tickling and teasing. Like most siblings, there have been times we downright disliked each other.

But she's always had my back. Today, I've got hers.

See, my big sis loves all things tart, tangy and sour. Especially grapefruit. One of her favorite breakfasts as a kid was half a grapefruit sprinkled with sugar.

With the focus of a surgeon, she'd use her grapefruit knife to carefully separate the segments. Slowly devouring each tangy-sweet bite.

These days, her mornings are hectic. Filled with disappearing shoes, conference calls and getting a 3-year old to preschool on time.

Like all busy parents, she's got little to no time for breakfast.

And certainly not one requiring a special fruit knife.

So I've swapped her favorite citrus for an easier to prepare sweet and tart broiled mango with Greek yogurt.

It's a breakfast that's nutritious, satisfying and incredibly simple for anyone to prepare. We're talking Slice-Broil-Top-Eat!

But the best part is the abundance of flavors packed into this morning meal.

Like in a baked blueberry mango crisp, broiling the mango brings out its honey-like sweetness. While chili powder provides exactly what your morning needs, a Mildly Spicy Kick in The Pants.

Lime juice adds bright citrus freshness. Greek yogurt, a dose of protein and tangy flavor.

You can even go all out and top your mango with a handful of chopped nuts, flaky coconut or no-stir toaster oven granola.

In just 10 minutes, you can enjoy a healthy toaster oven breakfast and still spearhead a search party for that other missing shoe.

Embed

Ingredients

1 large mango, ripe
1/2 teaspoon coconut sugar, or unrefined cane sugar
1/8-1/4 teaspoon chili powder, or cayenne pepper
pinch of fine sea salt
2/3 cup nonfat plain greek yogurt
1 lime, sliced into wedges

For the Optional Toppings:

toasted coconut flakes
granola
chopped nuts

Directions

Turn on your toaster oven and set it to broil.
Hold the mango upright on a cutting board. Avoiding the pit in the middle, carefully slice each side off of the mango with a sharp knife.
Score the mango flesh in a crisscross pattern without breaking the skin.
Sprinkle each half equally with sugar, chili powder and salt.
Place mango halves on a roasting pan and broil for 4 to 5 minutes until the sugar begins to brown and caramelize.
Serve warm with a scoop of Greek yogurt, lime wedges and your favorite toppings.
