Description

Toast coconut in your air fryer for an easy and delicious way to add a dash of sweetness and crunch to any dish! The added texture, flavor, and health benefits make using the air fryer an ideal way to boost the nutritional content of your favorite recipes without sacrificing taste.

Ingredients 

  • 2 cups coconut, Unsweetened Coconut Flakes or Shreds

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (165°C). Spread the coconut flakes or shreds in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Place the basket in the air fryer and roast the coconut for 5-7 minutes, shaking the basket every 1-2 minutes to ensure even toasting. Check the coconut flakes or shreds frequently to prevent burning. The coconut should turn a light golden brown color when it's toasted.
  • Once the coconut is toasted to your desired level of crispiness, remove the basket from the air fryer and let the coconut cool for a few minutes. Transfer the toasted coconut to an airtight container or use it immediately in your recipe.
