Method
Roasting the Mangoes
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature will help caramelize the sugars in the mangoes, enhancing their sweetness.
- Cut the mangoes in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Dice the mango flesh into cubes.
- Place the diced mangoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toss gently to coat the mangoes evenly.
- Roast the mangoes in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are slightly caramelized and soft. Stir halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Preparing the Salsa
- While the mangoes are roasting, prepare the other ingredients. Finely chop the red onion, garlic, and habanero pepper. Be careful when handling the habanero; wash your hands thoroughly afterward.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted mangoes, chopped red onion, minced garlic, chopped habanero, and cilantro.
- Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture and add salt to taste. Mix everything together gently to combine the flavors.
- Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you prefer more heat, you can add more habanero or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Serving
- Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl. It can be served warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
- Enjoy the salsa with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled chicken, or fish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes
For a milder salsa, you can reduce the amount of habanero or substitute with a milder pepper like jalapeño. Always taste as you go to achieve your desired heat level.
