4 cups | 24 minutes |
Ingredients
- 4 cups coconut chips
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp chipotle powder
- 1.25 tsp salt
- 0.75 cup maple syrup
Cookware
- 1 wide, heavy-bottomed pot
- 1 oiled baking sheet
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 250°F.
Step 2
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 3
When the coconut chips area dark golden color, stir in the maple syrup and continue cooking until the chips are well coated, another 2 minutes.
Step 4
Transfer the coconut chips to an oiled baking sheet and toast them in the oven until they are crispy, 10 to 12 minutes.
Step 5
Check every 3 to 4 minutes and turn the chips over to make sure they cook evenly.
Step 6
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.
