Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line two large rimmed cookie sheets (or roasting pans if that’s all you’ve got) with parchment paper. If you are making half, you can use one cookie sheet.

Toss in salt and stir to evenly disperse salt.In a microwave-safe measuring cup, stir together the brown sugar, maple syrup, honey and vegetable oil.

Cover loosely with large pieces of foil.

Aluminum Foil

Bake for 1 hour, 1 pan on lower rack and one on upper. When you smell the granola (after about 40 minutes), check it to make sure it’s not browning too much. If it’s covered, it should be fine. Also, the granola on the lower rack will cook quickly, so after 40 minutes, swap racks. After 1 hour, remove the foil. Cook for another 15 minutes or until it is golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool completely. Granola will crisp as it cools, so don’t worry if all of the granola doesn’t seem crisp after 1 hour and 15 minutes. When cool, break the bigger clumps up into smaller clumps.Note: You may want to try this first with half a batch baked on middle rack of oven. When baking two pans, you run the risk of burning the pan on the bottom rack, so if you are doing two pans, watch bottom pan closely and swap spaces.
