In a separate smaller mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, liquid smoke and maple syrup and pour over the coconut.
With your hands, gently massage the liquid into the coconut so that all of the coconut is covered.
Place the coconut in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 6 minutes.
Take it out of the oven, flip bacon over with a spatula (as best you can) and bake for an additional 7 minutes.
Allow to cool and store in an airtight container. Sprinkle on salads, make a killer BLT, or wait until next week when I give you my Garlicky Mushroom Green Beans with Coconut Bacon recipe!
