How To Toast Coconut?

Don't laugh but errr when I read the recipe below I thought "toasted coconut, hmmmm so do you buy it that way or do you toast it yourself?"  My mother is going to crack up when she reads this!  But anyhow I googled "toasted coconut" in case anyone else was wondering too ;)  Here are the results:

You can toast coconut in the oven or on the stove top. To toast coconut in the oven, spread shredded coconut in a thin layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 300F for about 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to make sure that the coconut browns evenly. To toast coconut on the stove top, spread shredded coconut into a large skillet (or small, if you only need a small amount) and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until coconut is mostly golden brown. Coconut will probably brown a bit less evenly in a skillet than in the oven.
