Preheat the oven to 250°F.

In a wide, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, add the coconut chips, olive oil, chipotle powder, and salt. Toast for 10 minutes, stirring continuously so the chips do not burn.

Step 5¶

When the coconut chips are dry and crisp, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
Step 7¶
The coconut bacon can be stored in an airtight container or glass jar for up to 1 month outside of the refrigerator.
