   Prepare Garnish Slices

   For a garnish, take the remaining mango and cut two of its largest, opposite slices. Lay these slices flat on a cutting board.
6. 06

   Slice for Rose

   Using a sharp knife, create small ¼-inch slices from the mango pieces. Cut them slightly diagonally to get longer pieces, which will help form the rose shape.
7. 07

   Form Mango Rose

   Start by rolling one slice into a tight circle to form the center bud of your rose.

   Then, arrange the remaining slices around it, overlapping them slightly and tucking them under the previous row. Keep building outwards, placing each slice individually, to create the layered look of a blooming rose.
