Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 325 F | 160 C and place parchment paper in the basket.
Mix oats, cashew nuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat oil and honey on medium heat. Whisk until the mixture gets warm and combines. Pour mixture over dry ingredients with vanilla extract. Toss with a wooden spoon until every ingredient is well coated. Arrange in the air fryer basket and fry for 20 minutes, gently stirring with a wooden spoon halfway through.
Remove the basket from the air fryer and let it cool down completely.
When cooled down, add dried fruits, nuts, and chocolate chips to the basket. Mix with a wooden spoon.
Store in a glass jar or an airtight container. Sealed well.
Cooling: Before storing, spread the granola out on a baking sheet or tray and allow it to cool completely. This step ensures it remains crispy and prevents moisture from getting trapped during storage.
Airtight Containers: Transfer the cooled granola to an airtight container. This will protect it from moisture and keep it crunchy.
Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Keep the container in a pantry or cupboard, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Duration: When stored properly, the granola should remain fresh and crunchy for up to two weeks.
Freezing: If you'd like to store it for an extended period, you can freeze the granola. Place it in a freezer-safe bag or container, press out as much air as possible, and store in the freezer. When ready to eat, allow it to come to room temperature for the best texture.
Refreshing: If the granola loses its crunch over time, you can refresh it by spreading it out on a baking sheet and placing it in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5-7 minutes. Cool before serving.
