The past few Fridays all of the titles of my posts have read, “French Fridays with Dorie:…”.
Not today. Obviously.
Today’s French assignment was Roasted Rhubarb. I can do that! I’ve done that!
But, guess what? Rhubarb season is over. Well, at least according to the clerks at five different farmer’s markets.
I gave up looking after the 5th market. I even went to the grocery store hoping for canned or frozen rhubarb. No luck.
Oh well.
So, instead of rhubarb, I roasted mangoes! Not bad, right?
Over the years I have made a number of mango recipes; ice cream, chutney, pie… I even made a bread with mango. I didn’t like that.
My favorite way to eat a mango, though, is roasted. It’s sweet, it’s simple, and it’s a really nice complement to a scoop of vanilla ice cream. A la mode! mmmmmm! Or you can just eat it right from the baking dish. I always do that.
Fresh mangoes baked with walnuts and brown sugar.
- 2 ripe mangoes
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Cut the mangoes and scoop out the flesh into a medium-sized bowl.
- In the same bowl combine the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Let stand for 15 minutes.
- Pour the mango mixture into a baking dish and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until browned on top.
Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes.
Serve.

Roasted mango sounds yummy indeed! Are those chives sprinkled on top??
dear kate
for the taste of mango im sure its good ..im from philippines where mangoes are abundant growing..so i know its very good but seems when you mixed it with walnuts. it and baked it the appreance dont seems so attractive …but the taste is absolutelz good
That sounds fantastic. Rhubarb really does still have a season, doesn’t it? So many other things can be found year-round. Way to save the week’s challenge by using mangoes – your recipe looks lovely.
I love mangoes but I would have never of thought to roast them. Love this idea! 🙂
I’ve got 3 slightly overripe mangos in my fridge and I’m not sure what to do with them. Do you think I could get away with using them for this? Because it sounds so good.
Rhubarb season is far too short.
Hi Melissa!! 🙂
I haven’t tried it with ripe mangoes, but I think that you might want to use 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar instead of 3 since the overripe mangoes are sweeter.
aweseome. thx Kate. Seems like a good way to use them up. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Kate, this is amazing recipe….love it…thanks:)

Never thought about cooking mango, but maybe I should! That dessert look spectacular!
What an interesting twist here! Nice job~
zomg, this looks amaaaazing! What an awesome idea, I bet it tastes like heaven. I am definitely going to be making this this summer, maybe put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top 🙂
this looks good innovative preparation Katerina
This sounds almost sinful! I love the flavor combo, I will have to try roasting a mango soon!
I love mangoes but have only eaten them raw. This looks like a nice alternative, and a clever variation with what’s avavilable.
This is totally new to me! I don’t think I’ve ever had mango cooked or roasted… I don’t think I give the mango enough time for that – it usually get home, I peel it, and I eat it. And it’s gone! Maybe I’ll have to restrain myself one of these days and try it your way – it sounds incredibly delicious!
I LOVE mangoes and have never had them roasted! I HAVE to give this a try! I bet its heavenly with a scoop of ice cream! what a wonderful summer dessert!
Just came over via foodgawker… this looks fabulous! I just bought a bunch of mangos on sale at Whole Foods, and this is the perfect use for them :).
I love, love, love mango and this looks sooo good!!!! Wish I had some ripe mangoes so I could make it right now ;). It’ll have to wait…
I have never thought to roast mango, but I clearly need to do this. Looks awesome!
I feel like I got a bonus recipe today! Even though you couldn’t find rhubarb, you kept to the same theme and introduced us all to a different way of preparing mango. Dorie would be so proud of you!
I like mango taste, so I guess I would love roasted mangoes too. With ice cream.. or without 🙂
This is something totally new to me! I’ve grown up eating mangoes, and I have never seen a roasted mango dish. Sounds phenomenal! I just have to try this. Going to look for some almost ripe mangoes the next time I’m out buying fruits! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Ooooooh…this looks wonderful, and I just have to try it! I just bookmarked the recipe. I might make it in the next week or so! 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing the recipe! 🙂
I think you stayed true to the spirit of things! Roasted mango. Hmmmm. Sounds like a winner.
Kate, I have a mango tree outside my kitchen and it’s just waiting all these years for this recipe of yours to come along! I’ve never roasted mangoes in all my life, so I think this idea is pretty brilliant. Well, as brilliant as you are :-).
Wow, for some reason, I’ve never thought of roasting mango before – what a fabulous idea!
Diggin the Mango!!
I think I prefer the idea of roasted mangos over roasted rhubarb. This looks great!
Just between me and you Kate, I’d take roasted mango over roasted rhubarb any day of the week! 😀
What a great idea! We love mangoes, but always eat them fresh. I have never made them any other way. Can’t wait to try this!
WOW. i never thought about roasting mangos!!! what a great idea!
I’ve never prepared mangoes like this before but I bet it brought out their sweetness. You’re right, this would be so delicious with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yum!
Have a great weekend!
Just lovely, Kate.
I love mangos so this is right up my ally!
Thanks so much for the recipe and gorgeous photography!
DELICIOUS! How haven’t I thought of that earlier? that’s just such a great way to turn regular mangoes into a wonderful dessert – I really, really like it 🙂
Mango is one of my favorite fruits! This must be wonderful with ice cream 🙂
Hmm, mangoes are one of my favorite fruits – I buy them by the case. I’ve never roasted them, but this looks really good, almost like a fruit crisp!
You are so creative! What a great improvise here!
I love all the ingredients in this dish and even though I eat mango every other day I don’t think I had a combo like that!
great way to improvise, kate! i’m sure this was just as tasty as rhubarb… i’ve yet to bake with it. maybe next year! =P
Darn it! I knew I should have grabbed that bunch of rhubarb I saw at the grocery store yesterday. (This was the store that was out of cherries. Sigh.) This mango dish looks awesome! I’m making this next week for my little Miss A. She’s going to LOVE it! (So will I. 😉 )
I’ve never had roasted mango before, but this makes me want to try. I just bought some this morning on sale actually, so this may end up being tonight’s dessert!
if you think is bad, you can definitely send the dish my way, looks amazing. never thought of roasting mango, thanks for the idea Kate!
What a great idea Kate! I bet the roasted mangoes are abosolutely delicious… the walnuts sound like the perfect complement. Yum!
Ohh, yummy! Simple and delicious. Love this!
I also live in a rhubarb free zone, and bought a container of strawberries to roast on their own. At the end, I decided to opt out and try another FFwD recipe I missed. The mango idea is brilliant and totally up my alley/produce availability!
Not bad at all, my dear! I bet this smelled incredible. Mmm!
Oh, Kate, this looks fabulous!!! What a nice twist on Dorie’s idea…I never would have thought to roast mangoes, but I approve!!!
This sounds like Heaven! I’m going to write this down and take on vacation with me because the ingredients are so simple and we’ll have a kitchen. thank you!
I cant believe you checked at 5 markets! Thats Love kate. =) This sounds equally as delish. I dont like walnuts, (or pecans) – do you think almonds or hazelnuts would work just as well?
Hi Lindsey! I have not tried it with any other nut, but I think that it would be great with hazelnuts!
Wow. what a wonderful idea. Mango instead of rhubarb. I love both of them but I can imagine how mango can replace the freshness of rhubarb and even with a bit more sweet balance. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe.
I love mango (and so does my dad…I will have to share it with him!). I’ve never seen mango roasted before…maybe I just don’t get out enough 🙂 Either way, this is totally something to try. Thanks!
