Ingredients

  • 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cups raw cashews coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 cups raw almonds slivers
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 egg white whisked until frothy
  • 1 cup chopped crystallized ginger

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300ยบ F.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Mix together oats, nuts, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom in a large bowl.
  • Add maple syrup, olive oil, and egg white to the dry ingredients. Stir well to combine.
  • Spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheet and bake without stirring until deep golden brown and fragrant, about 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Allow the granola to cool completely in the pan -- it will crisp up as it cools.
  • Once cool, break the granola into chunks with your fingers and mix in crystallized ginger.
  • Store in an airtight container.
