Tips for Making the Best Sweet and Salty Granola

Choose high-quality ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your granola. Use organic oats, nuts, and seeds whenever possible.
Adjust the sweetness to your liking. This recipe calls for 1/4 cup of honey, but you can add more or less depending on how sweet you like your granola.
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. When baking the granola, make sure to spread it out in a thin, even layer on the baking sheet. This will help it bake evenly and prevent it from clumping together.
Stir the granola frequently. While the granola is baking, stir it every 10-15 minutes to ensure that it browns evenly.
Let the granola cool completely before storing it. This will help it to crisp up and prevent it from becoming soggy.
