coconut chips

Coconut water, coconut milk, coconut sugar, coconut flour, coconut flakes.

There is no shortage of coconut products out there these days, and they are a great alternative for the gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, vegan conscious!

One of my favorite things to make are coconut chips. They are delicious by themselves, but you can also use them as a topper on a variety of other foods such as salads, sweet potatoes, and smoothies. And depending on how you flavor them, they can either be a salty or sweet snack!

Of course there are a variety of brands of coconut chips you can buy in the store, but I like to make my own. It's cheaper and healthier. Here's how I make mine:

toasted cinnamon-sugar coconut flakes

1. You only need four ingredients:
coconut flakes, coconut sugar, ground cinnamon, and sea salt.

2. place coconut flakes in a pan. (I usually make two pans-full at a time)

3. cook on low/simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

4. sprinkle sea salt, cinnamon, and coconut sugar on top and stir.

5. enjoy!

(I store mine in glass tupperware in the refrigerator. I am sure they would last a week or longer. However, I wouldn't know personally because mine never seem to last that long!)
