Preheat oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Place 2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes in medium bowl. Set aside.
Add 2 tablespoons lite tamari, 1 tablespoon liquid smoke, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika to small mixing bowl. Whisk ingredients together until fully incorporated.
Pour prepared sauce over coconut flakes. Toss or stir ingredients together until coconut flakes are completely coated in sauce.
Pour coconut flakes onto lined baking sheet and spread coconut flakes out into single, even layer. Place baking sheet in preheated oven.
Bake coconut flakes 6 minutes, then carefully remove pan from oven. Stir coconut flakes, then spread flakes out again. Return pan to oven.
Bake coconut flakes 6 minutes more or until coconut flakes are crisp and lightly browned. Check coconut flakes every 60 seconds to prevent burning.
Carefully remove pan from oven and set aside. Let coconut flakes cool completely, then serve as desired.

Leftovers: Let coconut bacon cool completely then transfer "bacon" to airtight container. Store at room temperature up to 1 week or freeze up to 1 month.
