Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp liquid smoke
  • 3 tbsp tamari
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp water I recommend adding 2 tbsp water if you're using dried coconut
  • 4 cups fresh flaked coconuts you can also use regular flaked coconut from the store but I haven't tried recipe with them

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 325F.
  2. Whisk together liquid smoke, tamari, maple syrup, and water. Give a little taste test, if you like it saltier, add a bit more tamari, if you like it sweeter, add more maple syrup. I like it smoky, crunchy with a bit of a salty kick.
  3. Pour marinade over coconut flakes and mix until evenly coated. Spread 1/3 of the coconut flakes over a lined thick-bottomed baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes, flipping/mixing the flakes every 5 minutes for even baking. Flakes should be bacony-brown. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack. They'll crisp up even more.
  4. Continue baking the other batches of coconut flakes until you have a whole batch of coconut bacon. Store in an airtight container and enjoy on sandwiches, salad, soup, or even as a little finger food!
