Servings: 2 cups

Ingredients

  • 2 cups coconut flakes unsweetened
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/3 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp liquid smoke

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180℃/350℉. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add all the ingredients in a bowl, and mix well. Spread the coconut flakes onto the baking sheet evenly.
  • Bake for 12~15 minutes, flipping half way. Keep a close eye on them while baking, as they can burn easily.
  • Once the flakes are golden brown and slightly burnt on the edges, they are done. Let them cool completely before serving. They will get even crispier as they cool. Enjoy!
