For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of regular butter. If you don't have maple syrup, honey or agave nectar can be used as a substitute. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference – a little goes a long way! To toast the coconut flakes, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes, or until lightly golden, watching carefully to prevent burning. This dish pairs well with roasted chicken, grilled fish, or as a side dish to a vegetarian meal.
