Answers: Toasting Coconut

1 cup shredded coconut

Lightly toast coconut in a moderate oven (300 degrees F) or toaster oven in a pie tin until golden, 5 to 8 minutes.

hope this helps. enjoy. Use a non stick pan and heat it first .. then throw the flakes in and agitate constantly to brown them .. depending on the amount and your pan it shouldn't take more than 20-30 seconds .. NO OIL OR FAT you use a no stick pan,heat on med high till hot[use the water drop test] put your shavings in the pan and shake like you are making popcorn in a pot,watch because once it starts it dosent take long
