Snack enthusiasts: this one is for you! This is less so a recipe and more so a tutorial on how to properly dehydrate mangos for healthy snacking. If you have been on the hunt for a super tasty raw vegan snack, you clicked on the right recipe. We’re going to dive deep into the world of dehydrated mangos. Trust us when we tell you that they are soft, chewy snacks that’ll hook your taste buds after the first bite. Plus, you only use mango, so you don’t have to worry about processed ingredients or preservatives that are typically in dried mangos that you find in grocery stores.
Why are mangos perfect for your snacking needs? First off, mangos offer a ton of vitamins, especially vitamin A and C, both of which encourage healthy immune function. They also help improve the appearance of the skin, assisting with collagen production. Mangos also contain a lot of fiber, which benefits digestion and can help keep you feeling full longer. That makes these dried mangos perfect for combatting those mid-afternoon cravings! We cannot forget about the antioxidant properties, which work to combat oxidative stress, a process that ultimately lowers the risk of chronic diseases.
Do yourself a favor and make this recipe…like yesterday. Grab some fresh mangos and get started on dehydrating. Just keep in mind that this recipe, like most dehydrator recipes, takes a bit of time. You may need to dehydrate the mangos for 12-14 hours. Just remember that the thinner your mango slices are, the quicker they will dry out. Happy dehydrating and snacking!

Ingredients
- 2 mangos, peeled, and thinly sliced into strips
Instructions
- Ripe mangos can be slippery, so do not peel them if they are too ripe, as the skin will be harder to remove.
- Cut your mangos lengthwise on either side of the pit. Cut each of those pieces in half and then run your knife along the inside of the skin to remove the skin.
- Slice the mangos into 1/4-inch thick strips and place them on dehydrator sheets.
- Dehydrate the mangos for 12-14 hours at 115º F, or less or more time depending on how dry they are. Once they are dry, remove and allow them to cool before enjoying.
- Feeling a little dangerous? Add a little chili powder and sea salt to your dried mangos to spice up the flavor!
