Baked Mango Samosas

These Baked Mango Samosas are subtly sweet from the fresh mango and nutty from toasted almonds, with a crispy baked phyllo wrap and a decadent fruit centre. A quick, easy, healthy and original mango dessert, perfect for picnics or potlucks.

It's finally Friday (yay!), and I like to start posting desserts recipes on Fridays. As it's the end of the week, we definitely all deserve a little sweet treat. Well, some of you are probably on vacation, but still, you deserve a little dessert. Really, there's always an excuse for something sweet, right? Don't you think it's the best way to start a relaxed weekend? Well, I do!

The sweet treat I am talking about is a delicious Baked Mango Samosa with Toasted Almonds. This sweet samosa sounds yummy, doesn't it?

If you're thinking, "are samosas supposed to be sweet?", then I got to admit that I'm not sure, but who cares! The basic idea is the same: Crispy phyllo pastry filled with deliciousness, so it's really just the sweet samosa filling that's different from what you're used to.

I chose to bake my  Mango Samosas, instead of deep-frying them, and you obviously understand why (hello, healthy samosas). Yet, these Baked Mango Samosas are still crunchy, no worries!

Also,  I like the fact that you can totally control how much of these sweet samosas you eat: these triangle-shaped Baked Mango Samosas make portion control super easy! And if you just don't care about calories all that, well you can still eat the whole tray of Baked Samosas, I won't tell.

One last thing before you can finally see the Baked Mango Samosa recipe. The sweet mango filling is super yummy. It's loaded with warming spices like cinnamon (that's to be expected on my blog, right?), nutmeg, ginger and clove, along with toasted almonds.

Yes, I said toasted almonds, don't skip that part when making these Baked Mango Samosas, because it makes all the difference. Check out this article if you don't know how to toast nuts and almonds.

Luckily, I didn't have to add any sugar to my sweet Mango Samosa filling because my mango was super ripe and very sweet. Learn how to choose the perfect mango thanks to this article.

Too hot to turn on the oven? Cool down with my Fresh Strawberry Granita!
