Coconut Bacon

Ingredients

2 teaspoons tamari

1 teaspoon 100% pure maple syrup

2 teaspoons liquid smoke

1 cup dried wide coconut flakes or strips, unsweetened

Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a mixing bowl, stir together the tamari, maple syrup and liquid smoke. Add the coconut flakes, tossing with a spoon to coat. Scoop the coated coconut onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it out really well, making sure not to clump any of it in one area.
Bake for 5 minutes, then give it a light stir with a fork. Bake for another 3-5 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Watch carefully as it can burn quickly.
Remove from the oven and let cool. It will crisp up as it cools down!
