Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Stir together butter and oil. Arrange 1 phyllo sheet on a work surface with a long side of phyllo nearest you, keeping remaining sheet covered. Brush with some butter mixture and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar. Top with remaining sheet of phyllo, then brush with remaining butter mixture and sprinkle with remaining teaspoon sugar.
- Cut phyllo in half crosswise and stack. Cut stack into quarters and cut each quarter diagonally twice (in an X) to form 4 triangles (for a total of 16 triangles).
- Arrange triangles, spaced evenly, on 2 ungreased baking sheets and sprinkle with coconut. Bake in middle and lower third of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until golden and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes total.
Tips:
- Use fresh, shredded coconut. Fresh coconut has a more intense flavor and a better texture than dried coconut. If you can't find fresh coconut, you can use unsweetened dried coconut, but be sure to rehydrate it in warm water for 15 minutes before using.
- Toast the coconut before using. Toasting the coconut will bring out its flavor and give it a slightly crunchy texture. You can toast the coconut in a pan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or you can spread it on a baking sheet and toast it in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
- Use natural sweeteners. Coconut crisps are naturally sweet, so you don't need to add a lot of sugar. If you want to add a little sweetness, use natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar.
- Be careful not to overcook the coconut crisps. Coconut crisps are done when they are golden brown and crispy. If you overcook them, they will become hard and brittle.
Conclusion:
Coconut crisps are a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of coconut crisps that are sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a healthy snack, give coconut crisps a try!
