TOTAL TIME: 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 cup raw sunflower seeds
  • 1 cup raw shelled pumpkin seeds pepitas
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon each of black pepper garlic powder, dried ginger, and paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon each cinnamon cayenne pepper, and salt

Instructions
 

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • 2. Combine all granola ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and stir to combine. Pour onto prepared pan and spread/flatten with a rubber spatula. Make sure granola is in a thin, relatively even layer.
  • 3. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and toasty. Remove from oven and let cool completely before stirring (this maximizes the size of clusters). Break into clusters with your hands or a spatula, and transfer to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to a week.
