This sugar free snack is so flavorful and the best thing about it is you can even share this with your dog! John John and I eat this all the time!
I use organic coconut meat slices, or it may also be called organic dried coconut. These pieces are larger and thicker than your traditional wide flake coconut that is used in baking. This makes these more like organic chips. Plus, the texture can range a little more because of the sizes, some are thicker, and some are thinner. These coconut chips takes just a few minutes to make and you can enjoy this anytime!

Health Benefits of Coconut
Coconut meat, the white, fleshy part of the coconut, is a nutrient-dense superfood offering a multitude of health benefits! Rich in dietary fiber, it supports digestive health. Coconut meat is also a good source of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), healthy fats that are easily digestible and can boost energy levels and enhance metabolic function. These MCTs are known to support weight management by increasing feelings of fullness and aiding fat burning. Additionally, coconut meat is packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including manganese, copper, and selenium, which contribute to bone health, antioxidant defenses, and proper enzyme function. Its antimicrobial properties help in fighting infections and boosting the immune system.
Ingredients & Tools
- Dried Coconut: This is the only ingredient in this recipe. I use Organic Dried Coconut from Nuts.com to create organic chips out of this delicious ingredient!
- Air Fryer: I use my air fryer to bake these, but you can also use a small baking sheet and your real oven as well.
- Parchment Paper: I put nontoxic parchment paper in my air fryer basket to make it easy to bake these without them falling through.

FAQ's
You can use this and it will toast up nicely. But, this is incredibly thin compared to the dried coconut I used here. So, while that will make delicious toasted coconut, the dried coconut really is more chip-like.
Store in an airtight container in the pantry.
