Toasted Coconut is one of my favorites, I love it on a dish of ice cream and even on my dish of yogurt for breakfast, this post will show you how easy it is to toast a whole tray of coconut in minutes to a delicious crispness.

It’s no secret I love coconut,

I’ve shared lots of coconut recipes like:

  • Chocolate Coconut Football Cookies
  • Coconut Lime Scones,
  • Coconut Banana Cake
  •  Coconut Cut Out Cookies
  • Macaroon Chicks
  • Easy 3 layer German Chocolate Cake
  • Raspberry Coconut Scones 
  • and Grilled Cake with Pineapple and Toasted Coconut.

and once you have a jar full of toasted coconut I’m sure you will find many uses for it.

It’s great for a fun sweet and crunchy topping.

The possibilities are endless.

You can add it to this super easy Dessert Pizza with fresh fruit for a quick and fun treat!

how to toast coconut

Spread out the sweetened coconut on a baking sheet.

 

toasting coconut in the oven

 

 

place the baking sheet in the upper portion of the oven,

take a spatula and turn the coconut so it toasts on all sides.

It doesn’t take long at all for a whole tray to toast up,

so keep an eye on it.

You don’t want it to burn.

As soon as it’s all golden remove the baking sheet from the oven.

    I’m the worst at ‘watching closely’ I always usually burn the first batch – whether it be coconut, sliced almonds, pecans.. whatever! Haha!
