I am a huge coconut fan and I love it right out of the bag, but toasted coconut is my absolute favorite. Toasting the coconut brings out a nutty flavor that is to die for. It also creates a nice crisp texture.

My favorite way to toast coconut is in the oven. The oven toasts coconut evenly and I love the aroma. It makes your kitchen smell amazing!

To toast coconut, preheat the oven to 325ºF. Place shredded or flaked coconut evenly on a large baking sheet that has been lined with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper.

Put the baking sheet in the oven, on the middle rack, and bake for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, open the oven and gently stir the coconut with a spatula. Bake until the coconut is golden brown, about 3-4 more minutes.

Remove from oven and cool completely.

Make sure you stay close by when you are toasting coconut. Once it starts toasting, it goes quickly! You don’t want to end up with burnt coconut.

You can store toasted coconut in a jar or airtight container for up to a month.

Toasted coconut maximizes the coconut flavor and can be used in any recipe that calls for coconut. I like to use toasted coconut to make scones, cookies, and even popcorn. It is also great for decorating cakes and cupcakes. Or try sprinkling toasted coconut on yogurt or ice cream as a sweet and crunchy topping! It is also good by the handful.

Enjoy!
