I was never really a big fan of popcorn. I would eat it, but it’s not like I craved it, and I’m certainly not missing it now that I’ve gone all paleo and stuff. But since I am not eating fruit on the Whole30, and trying to cut back on sweets (even the natural stuff) in general, I’ve been wanting a snack and salty is where it’s at.
The coconut flakes are seriously addicting. Crunchy. Salty. Delicious! I usually make a double batch, and try to make it last a few days. It’s hard. Because they are that good.
Savory Coconut Flakes
Yield:
2
Prep Time:
1 minute
Cook Time:
5 minutes
Total Time:
6 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp Allspice
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Coconut Oil, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Put the coconut flakes in a ziplock back and pour the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt on top of it. Give it a quick shake.
- Pour the coconut oil in the bag and shake it again, coating all the flakes.
- Pour the coconut on the parchment lined baking sheet and put in the oven on the center rack.
- Bake for 3-5 minutes, watching carefully the whole time to make sure they don't over-brown or burn. My oven takes a little longer to brown the flakes.
- Remove from oven and pan quickly to prevent extra browning.
- Eat them all. Or share. But preferably just eat them all.

I found this recipe yesterday and made it today. I think I'm in love. I added 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper because I like the heat, but next time will try reducing it to 1/16 teaspoon because it may have slightly overpowered the coconut flavor. This is the perfect snack: very easy, very fast, very good!

Oh gosh. Made these just now and they exceeded my expectations both in cooking time and taste. I added in a tsp of xylitol because I love sweet and savory at the same time. These will definitely be my go-to snack.

How do you store these? Fridge or counter?

Store them in an airtight container at room temp. They last for quite some time. I've had some that I ate a month later (they got hidden in the pantry) and they were just as good.

I've made a few batches of these - they're awesome! (I burned them only once!) I just noticed the recipe was posted on my birthday:) Anyway, the last time I made (coconut milk) ice cream, I topped it with these babies, thanks for posting this!

What are coconut flakes and where would I find them? Health food store? Would love to try this...

Coconut flakes are like shredded coconut, just bigger. I can find mine at our local grocery store in the health food section, but if you can't find them locally, I have also gotten them on Amazon. I like the Bob's Red Mill if I buy on Amazon, but locally our stores carry a different brand (I can't even remember what it's called).
