Ingredients
1cupshredded coconut
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Spread coconut evenly over the pan. Bake for 3 minutes and then stir. Bake an additional 2-3 minutes, or until it has turned golden brown. Watch carefully, as it can brown quickly.
Alternatively, place the coconut in a skillet and cook over medium-low heat until golden, stirring frequently (about 3-5 minutes).
Serve on top of your favorite desserts or snacks.
Notes
If using sweetened shredded coconut (my favorite), it will take an extra minute or two more to toast than unsweetened coconut.
