Learn how to unlock intense flavor, crisp texture, and beautiful golden brown color when you learn how to toast coconut. Toasting coconut gives it a nuttiness, sweetness, and complexity that dried coconut lacks – and it’s so easy to do, too!

How to Toast Coconut

Previously I relied on toasting coconut in the oven and in the microwave. Those methods work as well, but lack some of the control of the stovetop method.

The stovetop is my favorite for being able to closely watch and delivering the extra crispy bits. Since I love the crispy bits the most, this method wins for me every time now.

And once you have had freshly toasted coconut, the world is your oyster! Anywhere you’d use plain coconut in a dessert, swap in the toasted coconut for added oomph!

Use it in recipes like Coconut Cookie Bars: chocolate and toasted coconut stuffed inside chewy blondies, could any dessert possibly make me happier? Or sub it for the sweetened coconut flakes in Coconut Rice Krispie Treats for a seriously irresistible twist on classic rice krispie treats.

Cacio e Pepe

This recipe is a gentle riff on the classic Italian dish cacio e pepe which literally translates as cheese and pepper. The original dish uses only pasta, black pepper, salt, and Pecorino Romano cheese.

There are so many reasons to love this dish; simplicity of preparation, perfect balance of flavors, and budget-friendliness, just to name a few.

Our version makes use of Parmesan cheese both because it’s our preference and what we had on hand and I don’t like making special trips to the store unless I have to.

Ingredients for Zucchini Fritters

If you have zucchinis overflowing in your garden, grab a couple of them and a few other simple ingredients. I always like to see a quick overview of the ingredients so I know what to grab at the grocery store. Here is everything you will need:

  • Zucchinis: shredded small with a box grater, no need to peel them
  • Egg: helps bind the fritter together
  • Flour: gives the fritters structure and just regular all purpose flour is all you need
  • Chives: adds flavor
  • Basil: adds flavor
  • Salt and Black Pepper: adds flavor and the salt draws out moisture from the zucchini
  • Mozzarella Cheese: adds gooiness
  • Parmesan Cheese: adds flavor and crispiness

Dipping Sauce

  • Sour Cream: acts as the base for the dipping sauce, plain Greek yogurt can also be used
  • Feta Cheese: adds saltiness and flavor
  • Parsley: adds freshness
  • Lemon Zest and Juice: adds acidity and bright fresh flavor
  • Garlic: adds flavor
  • Salt and Pepper: adds flavor

I sprinkled some green onions on top for the photos so that’s totally an option if you want! The measurements for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

How to Make Zucchini Fritters

You won’t believe how easy it is to make these crisp zucchini fritters! Especially when you use the air fryer! Here are the steps:

  • Prepare the Zucchini: Grate zucchini using a box grater or food processor and then place in a colander with salt and let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Make the Sauce: While the zucchini is sitting, make the sauce. Place all ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth. Set aside.
  • Squeeze: Using a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel, squeeze out as much liquid from the shredded zucchini. The salt will have released a lot of moisture.
