Everything Seasoned Savory Granola is mostly salty, and just a tiny bit sweet, and it’s the perfect crunchy topping for all your summer salads and cottage cheese bowls!
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned, rolled oats
1/2 cup raw cashews, whole
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp. honey
1 egg, white only
3 Tbsp. everything-bagel-style seasoning
1/2 tsp. kosher salt (optional - not needed if your seasoning blend already contains salt)
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or silicone baking mat, and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl add the oats, cashews, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds. Stir to combine.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, and egg white. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir until everything is combined and moistened.
- Add the everything-bagel-style seasoning to the mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the granola mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Spread out into an even layer. Bake for 30 minutes, removing from the oven and stirring once at the halfway mark.
- Remove from the oven, then allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet, which will help it become crisp and crunchy.
- Transfer the granola to an airtight container such as a large mason jar. Store in air tight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Serve with cottage cheese or plain Greek yogurt, sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and/or microgreens.
Note: I have not experimented with making this recipe vegan, so I cannot confirm the success of trying to substitute the honey or egg white with any alternatives.
