Description
The quickest way to elevate Coconut? Toast it! This easy stovetop toasted coconut is a super quick way to turn an ingredient that is often looked over into the most amazing flavor bomb.
Ingredients
- Coconut of your choice (shredded, flakes, desiccated etc)
- Non-stick pan and spatula
Instructions
- Place the coconut into a medium non-stick pan over medium low heat, stirring often with a spatula to make sure that it does not catch.
- Toast until the majority of the coconut is golden brown - it will feel like it is taking a long time and then suddenly be ready, so make sure that you keep a close eye on it. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl to stop the cooking process and leave to cool.
- Once the coconut has cooled, use as directed in your recipe of choice, or transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature - it will keep for a few weeks.
Notes
I like to use a good quality non-stick pan for this process, you are welcome to use another kind of pan too if you prefer.
