Granola is typically associated with sweet flavors, but this savory version is a delightful twist that brings together the rich, earthy tastes of nuts and oats with a hint of spice. Oats, the primary ingredient, are a whole grain that’s rich in dietary fiber, especially beta-glucan, which is known to lower cholesterol levels and improve heart health. Nuts like walnuts and almonds add a satisfying crunch and are packed with healthy fats, protein, and antioxidants. This combination not only adds a delightful texture to your dishes but also provides essential nutrients that make this granola a healthy addition to your diet.

Whether you’re looking to add some crunch to your soups and salads or simply want a nutritious snack, this Savory Granola is a versatile choice that you can enjoy in various ways.

This Savory Granola is not just a topping but a versatile ingredient that can enhance the flavor and nutrition of many dishes. Whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, it’s a delightful way to add some extra texture and taste to your meals. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup raw walnuts (50 g)
• 1/3 cup raw pecans (35 g)
• 1/4 cup raw Brazilian nuts (25 g)
• 1/4 cup raw almonds (25 g)
• 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (120 g)
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp chili powder
• 1/8 tsp Himalayan salt

Directions

1. Chop the walnuts, pecans, Brazilian nuts, and almonds finely.
2. Grate the Parmesan cheese and set aside.
3. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped almonds and Brazilian nuts. Roast for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently with a spatula to ensure even toasting.
4. Add the chopped walnuts, pecans, and rolled oats to the pan. Continue roasting and stirring for an additional 5 to 7 minutes.
5. Reduce the heat to low. Add onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, and Himalayan salt. Stir quickly to evenly distribute the seasonings.
6. Under low heat, add the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix swiftly to help the melting cheese form clusters with the nuts and oats. This process should take 1 to 2 minutes maximum.
7. Transfer the mixture to a flat surface to cool. Allow it to cool completely to finish holding together.
