Here's how to make toasted coconut that's golden, crisp, and aromatic, without scorching.
Ingredients
7
ounce bag
unsweetened coconut flakes
*
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300F.
Spread the coconut flakes out evenly on a half sheet pan or rimmed baking sheet that's big enough to hold the flakes in a single even layer.
Bake for 8 minutes, until the flakes are starting to turn golden brown on the edges and smell fragrant.
Stir the flakes around to redistribute for even cooking, then bake for another 3-4 minutes, until the coconut flakes are more evenly golden.
Let cool, then store in an airtight container to preserve the crisp texture.
Notes
*The amount actually doesn't matter so long as you keep a thin single layer on the baking sheet. Make less, or more, as you desire.
