Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut shredded, sweetened
Instructions
For the Skillet
- Add shredded coconut to a skillet and toast over medium low heat, until golden brown and fragrant (about 3-5 minutes.)
- Make sure that the skillet is large enough that the coconut can be spread out in an even layer. Stir frequently to prevent the coconut from burning.
- Transfer the toasted coconut to a piece of parchment paper and cool completely before using.
Oven
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spread the shredded coconut in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet, making sure not to overlap.
- Bake for 6-8 mins stirring frequently to prevent burning (about halfway through and then more frequently as the coconuts gets closer to the end of baking time.)
- Keep a close eye on it for the last couple of minutes. It can go from toasted to burnt very quickly.
- Transfer the toasted coconut to a piece of parchment paper and cool completely before using.
Notes
- Skillet Cooking: coconut around the edges of the pan started to toast first. Coconut began to sizzle slightly when the process first started (about 2 mins into cooking time).
- Unsweetened Coconut will work for this as well. The sweetened coconut will toast faster and is easy to overcook. Sugar speeds up the toasting process.
- Storage. Store toasted coconut in an air tight container, in a cool dry place for up to a month. No refrigeration - the coconut will get soggy and chewy.
- Uses: Cakes, Cookies, Pies, Top of oatmeal, Ice Cream, Snacks, Popcorn topper
