Shredded Mango is a sweet and salty local favorite that brings back memories of mango season in Hawaii. This homemade treat starts with crisp green mangoes tossed with Hawaiian salt, then coated in a brown sugar syrup with Chinese five spice. A slow bake in the oven helps dry the mango strips and develop their delicious sweet and tangy flavor. Enjoy Shredded Mango as a snack, share it with friends, or make a batch whenever fresh green mangoes are in season.
