METHOD
Preheat the oven to 350oF (180oC, or gas mark 4), and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the coconut flakes, maple syrup, liquid smoke, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Toss the mixture until everything is evenly coated, then spread it out on the parchment paper in a single layer.
Bake for 5 minutes, then stir and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the coconut bacon is amber brown. If you aren't going to use it right away, store it in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Allow it to come to room temperature before using it.
