Notes
- RECIPE NOTES:
- NUTRITION DISCLAIMER
- Do not use shredded or sweetened coconut for this recipe or it won't turn out.
- Use large flake unsweetened coconut. Shredded coconut is too fine in texture and sweetened will ruin the taste.
- Make sure that the coconut flakes are fully coated in the liquid smoke mixture. We use our hands to toss to make sure the top pieces of coconut are covered.
- Watch the coconut carefully while it's baking. Every oven is calibrated differently, so it may take less time to bake, and we don't want your bacon to burn.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
- Freeze in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
