Step-by-Step Instructions for Crunchy Nut and Seed Granola
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare a 13-by-9-inch metal baking pan with vegetable oil spray.
- Combine the extra-virgin olive oil, maple syrup, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, and flake sea salt in a large mixing bowl, stirring for 1-2 minutes until well combined.
- Mix in the old-fashioned rolled oats, raw pepitas, unsweetened flaked coconut, and finely chopped pecans, folding gently with a spatula.
- Transfer the granola mixture to the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly and pressing down firmly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, checking for a golden-brown color.
- Once baked, cool the granola in the pan for 45 minutes to allow it to harden.
- Break the cooled granola into bite-sized pieces and serve, or store in an airtight container.
