Microwave Method:
Spread a thin layer of coconut flakes evenly on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring after each. Repeat until flakes are golden brown, about 4 minutes for sweetened and about 6 minutes total for unsweetened.
Oven Method:
Preheat oven to 325F. Spread coconut in a thin layer on a baking sheet.
Bake 5 to 10 minutes, stirring 3 to 4 minutes into baking time to ensure even color. Unsweetened estimated time is close to 5 minutes, sweetened is closer to 10 minutes baking time.
Skillet Method:
Place coconut in a large skillet.
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.
Coconut is done when the flakes are mostly golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.
