Step 1

Preheat oven to 275F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the coconut flakes in a large bowl. Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with salt. Using your hands, gently toss to coat, being careful not to break the large pieces of coconut.

Step 3

Spread the coconut in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven 10 minutes; open oven and gently stir the coconut, moving browner pieces at the edge closer to the center. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes longer until coconut is golden brown.

Step 5

Transfer sheet to a wire rack an cool completely (coconut will continue to crisp as it cools).
