Toasted Coconut Chips

I have a severe addiction to toasted coconut chips, but after checking the nutrition panel, I saw that the brand I had been buying generally had around 14g of sugar, so I decided to try to make my own.
I'm so excited!! They actually turned out really good. I started with a basic sweet and salty version, then made a version with cinnamon and nutmeg, and then made a salt and vinegar version! Only about 4 net carbs and 19g of fat! Much better than 13 net carbs!

How did you flake them? I had a bad reaction to the sodium dioxide used to preserve packaged ones.0

I bought this flaked coconut, organic and sulfite free:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F4D5IU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
I used one package, 1/4 cup melted coconut oil, 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp sea salt, and about 3-4 packets of truvia. Baked on 300 degrees for about 10-12 minutes, stirring every 3 to 4 minutes, and just took them out when they had turned a golden color.
For the salt and vinegar, I just took out the truvia and added 1 to 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar. Those turned out the best.
And I learned NOT to coat the foil on my pan, since the chips were already coated in the coconut oil. I think it took longer in the oven because of this.0 -
Since you get so many packages from that link, how far ahead are they dated?0

I get that same brand from the local store. The amazon link is useful for the ingredients and carb count.0

What store do you buy them from? I couldn't find them locally at all. I found Bob's Red Mill, but those pieces were tiny and ended up using those in keto granola. But then again, I do live in the South. It's harder to find stuff like that here.Sunny_Bunny_ wrote: »Since you get so many packages from that link, how far ahead are they dated?
I'll check when I get home, but I used up 3 bags just this weekend. LOL

If you're ever in the Seattle area, PM me, and I'll tell you where I get them. They're $3.49 for a 7oz pack at our store, so Amazon is actually a better deal (if you need 12). Expiration date for mine is March 2016.

Yum! I buy them from iherb; they also sell toasted versions. It is so humid here now though that the ones I toasted last month are a bit soft. Need to toast them again!

The group I bought from Amazon has an April 2016 expiration. I will probably have bought several more boxes by then. LOL0
