Toasted Coconut
Learn how to unlock intense flavor, crisp texture, and beautiful golden brown color when you learn how to toast coconut. Toasting coconut gives it a nuttiness, sweetness, and complexity that dried coconut lacks and it's so easy to do, too!
Ingredients
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- Place the coconut in a large non-stick skillet. Set a plate next to the stovetop. Turn the heat to medium and cook the coconut, stirring continuously, until the coconut turns golden with lightly browned edges on some pieces.
- Take care not to overcook, as the coconut will continue to darken after removing it from the heat until it is cool.
- Transfer the coconut to the plate and spread it across the plate. Allow it to cool before using it in a recipe or storing it in an airtight container.
