Preparation

Step 1

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.

Coconut chips can be made 5 days ahead; store in an airtight container at room temperature.
