Method:

Position your oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of oven. Preheat to 325 °F. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment.

Combine oats with nuts, coconut and pepitas in a very large bowl. Sprinkle with cinnamon and salt. Stir oil with maple syrup and vanilla in a small bowl, then stir into granola until well coated.

Divide mixture between prepared sheets and spread out evenly.

Bake in top and bottom thirds of oven, stirring every 12 minutes and switching sheets halfway through, until light brown and toasted, 30 to 35 minutes.

Granola keeps well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
