Prep: 5 minsCook: 13 minsTotal: 18 mins
Ingredients
- 3 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamrai for gluten free)
- 2 tablespoons liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar
- sprinkle sea salt
- sprinkle pepper
- sprinkle paprika
- sprinkle garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Place the coconut flakes, soy sauce, liquid smoke, agave, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in a bowl.
- Gently toss everything together until the coconut is completely coated.
- Scoop the coconut out of the bowl, leaving behind any excess liquid.
- Spread the coated flakes out on a lined baking sheet and place it in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Use a spatula to mix up the flakes, spreading them out in a single layer. Pop them back in the oven for 2 minutes. Keep a watchful eye because they go from perfect to burnt REALLY quickly.
- Turn the oven off and open the door. Allow the coconut bacon to stay in the oven and cool there. It’ll crisp up more on the pan.
- Keep checking on the bacon to make sure it’s not getting burnt.
- If the coconut bacon is sufficiently crisp after the 12-13 minutes in the oven, you can remove it completely from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan.
