Knowing how to dehydrate mango will allow you to create one of my favorite dried mango recipes: the dried chili lime mango! This naturally plant-based snack offers a ton of fruity, tropical flavors in every bite.
Peel each mango, and then vertically cut around the core of each mango until you have four pieces from each fruit. Then slice the mango sections into vertical pieces approximately 1/4" thick and 1/2" wide.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mango pieces, lime juice, chili powder, and sugar (if using).
Gently toss everything together until the mango is well-coated.
Place the mango pieces in nice even layers on your dehydrator's trays.
Set your dehydrator to 135℉ and dehydrate the mango for 6 hours. After 6 hours, you can check the mango to make sure it is dehydrated enough to your liking. Depending on how juicy the mangoes used were, this can take up to 8 hours.
Enjoy right away or keep stored in an airtight container in cool, dry place for up to 6 months.

Notes
If you do not have fresh lime, use approximately 2 tablespoons of bottled lime juice.
Sugar is not necessary and is dependent on how sweet and ripe the mangoes you are using are. Use your best judgment here!
