Quinoa Granola With Olive Oil + Maple Syrup

• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup good-quality maple syrup
• 3 cups quinoa flakes
• Coarse sea salt
• 1 1/4 cups roughly chopped raw walnuts
• 1 1/4 cups roughly chopped raw pumpkin seeds
• 3/4 cup roughly chopped dried figs (stems discarded)
• 3/4 cup roughly chopped pitted prunes

1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
2. Whisk together the olive oil and maple syrup in a large mixing bowl and add the quinoa flakes, stirring to combine thoroughly.
3. Evenly spread the quinoa on a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
4. Roast, stirring now and then, until the flakes are dried and crunchy and a lovely golden brown, about 25 minutes.
5. Let the quinoa mixture cool completely before mixing with the remaining ingredients.
6. Store in a glass jar for up to 2 weeks.
