Notes
Low Temperature: Bake granola at a lower temperature (around 325°F or 160°C) and for a longer time. This prevents burning and allows granola to crisp up with a lovely texture.
Stirring During Baking: While baking, make sure to stir the granola halfway through for even baking.
Use Parchment Paper or Silicone Mat: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent granola from sticking and make cleanup easier.
Orange: Use fresh juicy oranges that are in season.
