In the Oven: Place the shredded coconut on a baking sheet. Optionally toss with 1 or 2 tablespoons of confectioner's sugar if coconut is unsweetened. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven. Stir every 30 seconds, until the coconut is dry and mostly toasted light brown with some white shreds, about 2 to 4 minutes.
In the Microwave: Spread coconut evenly on microwave-safe plate. Optionally toss with 1 or 2 tablespoons of confectioner's sugar if coconut is unsweetened. Microwave on high at 30 second intervals and toss until lightly browned with some white shreds..
