Crispy Coconut Delight on the Stove

Ingredients

- 2 cups sweetened coconut flakes
- Non-stick skillet
- Heat-proof spatula or wooden spoon
- Plate

Instructions

1. Prepare the Workspace:
Begin by setting your stove to medium heat to ensure even cooking and prevent burning. Make sure you have all the ingredients and utensils within reach for a smooth cooking process.

2. Preheat the Skillet:
Place the non-stick skillet on the stove and allow it to warm up for about 2 minutes. A preheated skillet is crucial for achieving the perfect golden-brown color on the coconut flakes.

3. Add Coconut Flakes:
Pour the 2 cups of sweetened coconut flakes into the skillet. Using the heat-proof spatula or wooden spoon, spread the flakes evenly across the surface of the skillet.

4. Toast the Coconut:
Continuously stir the coconut flakes with your spatula or spoon to avoid sticking and ensure that they are evenly toasted.

5. Monitor and Adjust:
If you notice any uneven browning, adjust the heat slightly or redistribute the coconut flakes in the skillet as needed.

6. Finish Toasting:
Toast the coconut flakes for approximately 5 to 7 minutes, or until they have reached your desired shade of golden brown.

7. Transfer and Cool:
Once toasted, immediately transfer the coconut flakes to a plate to cool. This step prevents further cooking from residual skillet heat, ensuring that your flakes remain crispy.
