If the coconut is sweetened it tends to brown faster so, it will take less time. Oven Method Preheat oven to 325Â°F. Spread coconut flakes on a baking sheet in a thin layer and bake in preheated oven. The flakes will toast very quickly and won't take more than 5-10 minutes. After a few minutes stir the coconut to help ensure even color.
Use the small holes on a box grater to grate your coconut or purchase packaged coconut flakes. Sweetened and unsweetened flakes work equally well. Measure 1/2 cup of grated coconut. If you need more, toast in batches to minimize the possibility of scorching. Spread the coconut in a thin layer on a microwave-safe glass plate. You can use a paper plate or paper towel, but the glass plate conducts heat and browns the coconut more evenly. Microwave the coconut on high for 2 to 3 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds to stir, which keeps the flakes from scorching and helps them brown evenly.
