Air Fryer Cinnamon Crunch Granola

What can't the air fryer do? For starters, it can turn out fluffy oat pancakes and make a crispy chicken sandwich with a fraction of the oil you'd normally use. Perhaps best of all, it makes crunchiest of crunchy granola.



Air Fryer Cinnamon Crunch Granola
Ingredients
  • 1/3 c. packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil 
  • 1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 c. old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 c. raw pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 c. raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 1/2 c. unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1/4 c. raw sunflower seeds
  • Fresh berries and yogurt, for serving (optional)
Instructions

    Step 1
    In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, oil, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Add oats, pecans, pumpkin seeds, coconut, and sunflower seeds and toss to combine.
    Step 2
    Line an air-fryer basket with foil, coming 1" up the sides to create a foil basket. Add one-third to one-half of oat mixture (depending on size of air fryer). Cook at 350°, stirring halfway through, until golden and crispy, 6 to 9 minutes.
    Step 3
    Transfer to a large heatproof bowl and let cool. Repeat with remaining oat mixture.
    Step 4
    Serve with berries and yogurt, if desired.
    Step 5
    Make Ahead: Granola can be made 1 month ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
