For an extra crispy coating, consider using panko breadcrumbs mixed with the coconut flakes. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference. A pinch of smoked paprika can also add a lovely depth of flavor. Serve with a sweet chili sauce, mango salsa, or orange marmalade for dipping.
