Roasty-Toasty Tasty Coconut
So this is one of the best, slightly exotic tasty snacks to munch on, helping you to fill your hungry belly with all of the 'right' fats and fibre; not to mention absolutely scrummy! When I first tried this, I was on the gorgeous coastline of Kenya enjoying a cold bevy with friends and family. A small wooden bowl of this delightful snack arrived where it had just been prepared then-and-there over a authentic wood-fire grill.... And my golly was it delicious.
The flavour can best be described as an almost popcorn flavour. The more grilled pieces give off a slight crunch, and all in all a mouth watering result. Yum!
Coconut oil is one of the healthiest fats known to mankind, giving the body all sorts of health kicks. Famous celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Miranda Kerr, Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie are all on what's known as the coconut oil diet where by they simply include this healthy fat religiously into their daily diet. But why? Coconut Oil is comprised of what we call 'Medium Chain Fatty Acids'. These are powerful agents that boost the body's metabolism, producing energy; help to fight against bacteria, fungal infection and viruses; as well as help improve the condition of your skin, hair and nails. In researching this topic, I found a HUGE list of why we humans should consume more of this superfood.

Ingredients:
1 Fresh Coconut
Sea Salt
Cinnamon (optional)
Directions:
Turn on the grill. Crack your coconut open. The way I normally do this is to drill into the three top holes in the Coconut and drain out all of the water. Save this as, this too has thousands of fabulous health kicks and is great to add to sauces also!
Chop the nut into thin slices.
Scatter onto a large baking tray. Sprinkle with Sea salt and Cinnamon if you desire. I decided to do 'half and half'- salt and cinnamon.
Put it under the grill. Keep checking every five minutes. They should be done when it's all golden brown.
Put in a bowl, serve and enjoy!
