he good news is you can save a few bucks on those pricey bags at the supermarket and make your own coconut chips at home. The idea of opening a coconut might seem intimidating, but have no fear—it’s much easier than you think.
First, choosing a good coconut is important. The eyes of the coconut, those three little holes on one end, are a good indicator. Any sign of discoloration could be mold and a sign the coconut isn’t fresh. Give it a good shake and make sure you hear a sloshing sound inside. This means there’s water inside (yes, coconut water!).
Once you’ve picked your coconut, you’ll need a screwdriver and hammer to get cracking. You can take a hammer to your coconut after the water has been drained, but a brief bake in the oven saves hands-on time, making it easier to pry the coconut meat from its shell. You just need to let the coconut cool completely before cracking.
