To toast coconut:
Spread the sweetened coconut flakes evenly on a baking sheet. Place in oven at 350 degrees F. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Stir a few times while baking.
You can also toast the sweetened coconut flakes on a skillet by stirring the coconut flakes back and forth with a wooden spatula until they turn golden brown.
