Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded coconut sweetened or unsweetened
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread the shredded coconut in an even, thin layer across the baking sheet.
- Bake for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes, until the coconut is golden brown and fragrant. Watch closely near the end, as it goes from golden to burnt quickly.
- Remove from the oven and let the toasted coconut cool completely on the pan. It will continue to crisp up as it cools.
Notes
Store cooled toasted coconut in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months. For a stovetop method, toast the coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until golden.
