Preheat your oven to about 350, spread your shredded coconut out on a baking pan and put it in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until it turns golden brown. Stir it a couple of times during baking.

Yes follow Silvers advice just remember to check it often each oven is a bit different and once they start browning they go fast! (yes I have burnt up my fair share lol)

Anybody can boil water.

Toasting coconut is tricky and I've never done it before.

In all seriousness, yeah, I can imagine it would be very easy to burn it because the bits are so tiny.

I toast slivered almonds all the time in my toaster oven and I always walk a very fine line between scorching them and beautifully toasting them. I can imagine coconut could be a lot trickier.

I do nuts in a cast iron skillet or in the oven.

Due to the high sugar content in coconut it burns very easy.

I used the oven to do it last week for the first time. at 350, it only took about 3 minutes to toast. I made a point of moving it around every minute or so, if it stayed in one spot it burned. It's a little tricky, make sure you have extra.

Here is my method that I use EVERY TIME for coconut. It consistently turns out the same:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Take entire bag of coconut and DO NOT OPEN IT. I repeat, DO NOT OPEN IT.

Walk over to your garbage can and throw the entire thing away, unopened.

Do not buy anymore coconut.


Coconut is gross and should not be consumed. Seriously.

I like coconut, a little bit on top of a fruit salad I made a week or so ago was perfect.

i'll agree that marshmallows coconut and sweet potatoes have no place being combined but you gotta have marshamallows at a campfire to go with graham crackers and chocolate

coconut for german chocolate cake

and baked sweet potatoes with butter and bacon is a divine side item

I've never been big on the sweet potato but I hear they are quite healthy. I may have to start eating them.

I know I'm providing nothing useful by saying this, but am I the only one who thought of "How do I shot web?"

Regardless, toasted coconut is excellent.
