Nut-and-Seed Granola
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup sliced skin-on almonds
- 1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3 tablespoons sunflower seeds
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Position an oven rack at the bottom of the oven, and preheat to 325 degrees F.
- Whisk the maple syrup and oil together in a large bowl.
- Add the almonds, pecans, coconut, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, flaxseed and salt, and toss to coat.
- Spread the mixture out on a baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove it from the oven, and scrape and toss the mixture around.
- Continue to bake until golden and still slightly sticky, 10 to 12 minutes more.
- Or, for a deeper, toasted version, bake until deeply golden (you may start to smell the toasted nuts), 13 to 15 minutes more.
- Let cool.
- (The granola can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.)
