Ingredients
Base Ingredients:
- 2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes or shreds ≈150 g
- Pinch of fine sea salt optional
- 1 tsp coconut oil or butter optional; richer flavor, more even browning
Sweet Version:
- 1-2 Tbsp sugar/maple syrup or powdered erythritol/Allulose/Swerve Confectioners for keto
- ¼ tsp vanilla
- pinch cinnamon optional
Savory Version
- ½ tsp everything seasoning or
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika + lime zest or
- ½ tsp furikake watch salt
Instructions
Method A: Skillet - Fast & Hands On:
- Warm a wide skillet over medium-low heat (dry, or add the 1 tsp fat).
- Add coconut in an even layer. Toast 3–6 min, stirring every 20–30 sec.
- When mostly pale-gold with a few deeper edges, remove immediately to a cool sheet (carryover heat darkens it).
- Toss in salt and any seasonings while warm.
- Sweet tip: If using granulated/ powdered sweetener, sprinkle on during the last minute so it melts lightly. If using maple/sugar, reduce heat and stir constantly—sugars brown fast.
- Time: 5–8 min total
Method B: Oven - Even & Low-Effort
- Preheat to 300°F / 150°C. Line a sheet with parchment.
- Spread coconut in a thin, even layer.
- Bake 5–8 min, stirring at minute 3–4 until evenly golden.
- Using maple/sugar? Drop to 275°F / 135°C to prevent scorching.
- Time: 10–12 min total (incl. preheat)
Method C: Air Fryer - Tiny Batches
- Preheat to 300°F / 150°C.
- Add coconut to basket in a thin layer (use a liner if needed).
- Air-fry 3–5 min, shaking every minute.
- Time: 5–7 min total
