Savory Nut and Seed Granola image

Who says granola has to be sweet? I decided to skip the fruit and add some herbs and spices and was very pleased with the results! I'd recommend serving it as I did - over plain yogurt, with a drizzle of olive oil, and some chopped cucumber. Yum!

Time 35m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ cups rolled oats
½ cup cashews
¼ cup sliced almonds
¼ cup sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons hemp seeds
2 tablespoons wheat germ
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 egg white

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix oats, cashews, almonds, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, wheat germ, olive oil, honey, maple syrup, sesame seeds, salt, thyme, oregano, and red pepper flakes together in a large bowl.
  • Whisk egg white in a small bowl until frothy. Stir into granola mixture. Spread on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Bake until fragrant, about 15 minutes. Turn over sections of the granola using a flat spatula, trying to keep large clusters intact. Bake until evenly browned and dry to the touch, about 10 minutes more.
  • Place baking sheet on a wire rack; let granola cool completely. Break up into clusters and transfer to an airtight container.
