GRANOLA WITH CANDIED GINGER



Granola With Candied Ginger image

Lots of nuts for your morning protein. There's no sugar, other than the candied ginger. If you don't like ginger, leave it out and use sweetened coconut instead of regular. This granola is nice because you can toast it on the stovetop instead of baking it.

3 cups diced peeled tropical fruit (such as pineapple, mango, and kiwi)
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger plus additional for garnish
2 1/2 cups plain nonfat or reduced-fat (2%) Greek-style yogurt,* divided
2 cups purchased granola (with nuts and dried fruits, if desired)

  • *A thick yogurt; sold at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Greek markets.

Tips:

  • Using fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in the best-tasting granola.
  • Be sure to toast the oats before baking them. This will give them a nutty flavor and make them more crispy.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet when baking the granola. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Let the granola cool completely before storing it. This will help it to crisp up.
  • Store the granola in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
  • Homemade candied ginger is a great way to add a sweet and spicy flavor to granola. To make candied ginger, simply simmer ginger slices in sugar syrup until they are translucent.
