Cuisine: vegetarian
Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut (not shredded)
1 T liquid aminos, soy sauce or Tamari
1 T maple syrup
½ T liquid smoke (any flavor, I used Hickory)
½ tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
Heat oven to 325. Combine liquid aminos, maple syrup, liquid smoke and smoked paprika in a medium bowl. Add coconut flakes and stir to thoroughly coat the coconut flakes with the liquid mixture.
Pour onto a large baking sheet and spread out the mixture evenly.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes with a spatula so the coconut bakes and browns evenly. Keep an eye on it and be sure to toss it as it can burn fast.
