So my teenaged daughter sets out to include toasted coconut as part of a 'protein bar' treat for friends last night. Oven, 350. Within less than 5 minutes, we have an all out fire blazing on the thick cookie sheet! Her technique sounds not too different from what's here---what caused the fire? (She did have aluminum foil under the coconut.) Carmelization? Chemicals used to preserve the coconut?
