Instructions

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper over a half sheet pan and spread the coconut on top of it in an even layer. Toast for 7-9 minutes, removing the pan every two minutes and stirring, moving the outer coconut shreds to the center and vice versa.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Stove Top Method:
- Spread coconut out in a large non stick pan. Heat over medium low heat, stirring often, for 5-6 minutes, or until coconut is fragrant and golden colored. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Microwave Method:
- Place the coconut in a large shallow microwave safe bowl (preferably glass). Microwave for 3-5 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. If hot spots develop, scoop out any burned coconut before returning to the microwave.
