Ingredients

  • Coconut

Instructions

Toast Coconut in the Microwave:

  • Sprinkle 1/2 cup coconut on a glass pie dish or plate.  Microwave 3 or 4 minutes stirring every 30 seconds after the first two minutes.

Toasted in the Oven:

  • Place on a baking sheet in a preheated 325 degree oven for 5 to 10 minutes stirring every couple minutes until coconut is toasted.

Toasted on Top of the Stove:

  • Place 1/2 cup in a preheated skillet on top of the stove for 2 to 5 minutes stirring often until toasted a golden brown.  Do not put oil in the skillet.

Notes

Sweetened coconut will brown faster than unsweetened and fresh will take longer to brown because it is wetter.  You can make as much as you like or as little.  It keeps well in an airtight container for up to a month and will keep in freezer for a couple months.
