Hmm, sounds interesting! I've never toasted coconut in the oven. I always toast nuts, seeds, and coconut on the stove in a dry skillet. That method doesn't brown un-chopped nuts as evenly as oven toasting, but I'm usually just going to mix them into oatmeal, or cake batter or something where it's flavor over appearance. Skillet toasting works perfectly for shredded or desiccated coconut though. I've never timed it but I'm sure its faster than 7 minutes. Good to know you can use the microwave though!!
