Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut sweetened or unsweetened, shredded
Instructions
Oven Method
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
- Spread coconut evenly over an ungreased cookie sheet. Transfer baking sheet to 350F (175C) preheated oven and cook for 5 minutes (Note: if you are using a very dark or black baking sheet, cook for only 4 minutes).
- Remove from oven and use a spatula to turn/stir the coconut, once again redistributing evenly over the baking sheet. Return to 350F (175C) oven and bake another 5 minutes (Note: if you are using a very dark or black baking sheet, check after 4 minutes).
- If coconut is not adequately browned, return to the oven in 2 minute increments, stirring in between, until coconut is toasted.
- Allow coconut to cool before using.
Stovetop Method
- Add coconut directly to a large skillet over medium-low heat.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until coconut is browned/toasted.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool before using.

Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for several weeks.
