Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened flaked coconut
- 1 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the soy sauce or tamari, liquid smoke, maple syrup and apple cider vinegar.
- Add the coconut to the bowl and gently stir to coat it with the soy sauce mixture, being careful not to crush the coconut flakes.
- Spread the coconut in an even layer on parchment. Drizzle any excess liquid over the coconut.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, tossing every 3-5 minutes during cooking, until crispy and browned. Watch the coconut closely during baking, because this stuff can go from crispy to char in a very short time.
- Remove the baking sheet from oven and allow to cool. The coconut bacon will continue to crisp up as it cools.
