Savory Granola

Makes around 3 cups of granola

Ingredients:

• 1 cup quick 1-minute oats, uncooked

• 2 cups crispy rice squares cereal

• 1 cup shredded wheat cereal (can substitute this with 1/2 oats and 1/2 cup rice cereal if unwanted)

• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground paprika

• 2 Tablespoons dried parsley flakes

• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 5 Tablespoons olive oil

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, add the oats, rice cereal, and shredded wheat cereal. Use your hands to crush the cereal until it is crumbly. Add the spices and herbs to the bowl. Mix to incorporate all of the seasonings evenly.

3. Add the oil to the bowl and mix to evenly coat the dry ingredients.

4. Pour the uncooked granola onto the pan. Spread into an even layer.

5. Bake in the oven for 18 minutes or until fragrant and golden in color. I suggest mixing the granola using a spatula halfway through (9 minutes) to ensure it bakes evenly.

6. Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool in the pan. Once completely cooled, store in an airtight glass jar.
