On the Stovetop:

1. Place coconut in a skillet over medium-low to medium heat.
2. Once the coconut starts to turn brown, stir frequently to prevent burning. Continue cooking until it reaches the desired color.
3. Transfer the coconut to a plate to prevent it from further cooking. Cool completely.

In the Oven:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the coconut thinly on the baking sheet.
3. Bake for 5-10 minutes until it reaches the desired color. Turn the coconut with a spatula once it starts to cook to prevent burning. Keep a close eye on it because it can burn quickly once it starts to toast.
4. Transfer the coconut to a plate to prevent it from further cooking. Cool completely.
