Homemade Spiced Coconut Chips Recipes

COCONUT CHIPS

Steps:

• Remove the flesh from 1 brown coconut, leaving the thin skin on. Shave the coconut flesh into thin strips using a vegetable peeler. Toss 2 cups of the shaved coconut with 1 to 2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and toast in a 300 degrees F oven, stirring occasionally, until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.

HOMEMADE SPICED COCONUT CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk sweetener, oil, and 1 Tbsp. hot water in a small bowl. Pour over coconut flakes in a large bowl and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and spices or nutritional yeast and toss again. Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed.
• Spread in an even layer on prepared baking sheet. Bake coconut, tossing every 4 minutes, until golden brown and crisp, about 12 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Do Ahead
• Coconut chips can be made 5 days ahead; store in an airtight container at room temperature.

THAI COCONUT-SPICE BLEND

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Bake the coconut on a rimmed baking sheet, stirring occasionally, until light golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, put the lime zest on a paper towel-lined microwave-safe plate and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring with a fork in between, until the zest is dry and almost brittle, 2 to 4 minutes total. (The timing will largely depend on the power of your microwave.)
• Add the cooled coconut, dried lime zest, chili flakes, coriander, garlic, and salt to a spice grinder and grind to the texture of very coarse cornmeal. Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
