Coconut Bacon

Coconut Bacon

 Preheat oven to 350^o.  You will LOVE this stuff!

• 4 cups coconut flakes (large flakes, not shredded)
• 3 Tbsp olive oil (we use a spicy EVOO)
• 2 tsp chipotle powder*
• 4 tsp maple syrup

*you can also use paprika if you don't like as much spice.

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, let sit for a few minutes so flavors can mesh together.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Bake for 5 minutes, stir and then bake for another 5 minutes or until it is a golden brown, 2 minutes and stir, 2 minutes and stir until you get the golden brown "bacon" look to your coconut pieces.

So good it’s addicting!  We’ve used it on top of fajitas, tacos, and rice bowls, we’ve made cobb salad.  It’s so good you won’t want to leave it on in a bowl on the counter, it will just get eaten up!
