Toasted coconut is a delicious addition to yogurt, ice cream, trail mix, and more. Here are instructions for toasting coconut in both the oven and the microwave.
For the oven
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Spread coconut in an even, single layer on an ungreased baking dish.
2. Bake coconut until it shows light-golden "toastiness." If your oven heats unevenly, give the coconut a stir halfway through. Pay attention in the final minutes because coconut can burn easily.
Unsweetened flakes: 5-7 minutes
Unsweetened chips: 8-10 minutes
Sweetened flakes: 10-12 minutes

For the microwave
1. Spread coconut in an even, single layer on an ungreased, microwave-safe dish.
2. Microwave for 1 minute at a time on high, stirring in between. Since every microwave is different, leave the time up to your discretion. We got nicely toasted, unsweetened chips after 3 minutes.
