How to Toast Coconut in the Oven (4 Steps)
You just found a delicious-sounding coconut pie recipe in the latest cooking magazine and have decided that you need to make it right away. A search of the pantry reveals that you have all the ingredients you need except one -- toasted coconut. But don't worry. You can easily make toasted coconut yourself from the fresh, flaked or shredded coconut you do have, saving you a trip to the store and letting you complete your latest culinary masterpiece without delay.
Things You'll Need
- Oven
- Ungreased baking sheet
- Fork
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Spread the shredded or flaked coconut on an ungreased baking sheet. Make sure that the coconut shreds or flakes are arrayed in a single layer in order to guarantee even browning.
-
Place the baking sheet on the center shelf of the preheated oven and toast for seven to eight minutes. Stir and turn the coconut with a fork once or twice during toasting. Watch the coconut closely while it is in the oven to make sure that it does not get too brown; you're aiming for a light, golden brown color.
-
Take the toasted coconut off of the baking sheet immediately after removing the sheet from the oven. This will ensure that it does not continue to brown.
