Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a baking tray with parchment or silicone baking mat.
- Spread your coconut flakes in an even layer on your baking tray.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring your coconut every 2 minutes. *
- Remove from the oven when desired coloring is achieved, we like a lighter brown with small bits of white, but also enjoy a darker brown.
Notes
We like to use sweetened coconut, but this recipe works with unsweetened as well.
Be sure to stir the coconut every two minutes. The edges will bake much faster than the center.
