Toasted coconut is one of my favourite treats. I first had this in Kenya when we went
over to a friends house for dinner. Whilst we were all sipping on cold coke’s,
ginger ale’s and beers, Suzi brought out a bowl of this healthy snack. Coconut,
sun, a cold bevi and the beautiful scenery of the Kenyan beach, we were really
in luxury. Not only is this snack
healthy full of good fats, it is very easy to make.
Thinly slice fresh coconut (the best), or coconut chunks
which you can buy at any good supermarket (I know Waitrose in England does
this).
Once all your coconut is sliced nicely, place on a tray with foil.
Sprinkle/ grind some sea salt on your coconut. Place your tray of salted sliced
coconut under the grill. Toast for five minutes until the coconut is lightly
brown. Turn the slices over and toast for a further two minutes.
And voile la! You have your toasted coconut treat. Put in a
bowl and serve. This tastes surprisingly like popcorn. Although this treat is healthy, it is
high in healthy fats. So eat in moderation- like everything I guess. It is for this reason you will
get very full quite quickly from this treat.
