Instructions
Stovetop Method
Pour the desired amount of dried shredded coconut into a pan.
Toast coconut over medium heat, constantly stirring to prevent burning.
The coconut will toast quickly, so make sure not to take your eyes off the pan.
Oven Method
Spread a thin layer of shredded coconut over a parchment paper lined rimmed baking sheet pan and bake at 350 degrees for 3-5 minutes, or until the coconut is light and golden.
Stir the coconut halfway through baking to ensure the coconut toasts evenly.
Store the leftover toasted coconut in an airtight container at room temperature.
