Holiday Granola With Homemade Candied Ginger Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix together oats, coconut, both nuts, maple syrup, oil, brown sugar, pepitas, and 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste). Spread mixture in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until darkened, 50 to 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes for the first 30 minutes and then every 5 to 10 minutes after that. Let cool completely.

Steps:

• To make candied ginger, start by peeling ginger and slice into pieces 1/8" thick using a mandolin.
• Place in a large pot and cover with water. Add pinch of salt.
• Bring to boil and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Remove 1/2 cup of the ginger water and strain the ginger of the rest of the water.
• Place the strained ginger in a pot with sugar and the reserved ginger water.
• Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered until the sugar syrup looks dry, has almost evaporated, and begins to crystallize (about 45 minutes). Transfer to a cooling rack and spread out and separate individual pieces.
• Allow to cool completely. Stores up to 2 weeks in airtight container.
• To make holiday granola, start by preheating oven to 300ºF.
• Mix dry ingredients together. Add coconut oil and maple syrup and mix until well combined.
• Spread onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Bake 20 minutes, rotate the pan, and then bake another 20 minutes until golden brown.
• Allow to cool for 30 minutes before breaking into pieces.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Steps:

• Mix together granola, cherries, and candied ginger. Place yogurt in a large resealable bag, and snip off end. Pipe a 1-inch-thick layer of yogurt into the bottom of a 4-quart trifle dish (7 1/2 inches in diameter, 5 inches deep). Scatter 1 1/2 cups raspberries over yogurt, and drizzle with honey. Sprinkle with 3 cups granola mixture. Repeat layering once, and top with a layer of yogurt. Mound 1 cup raspberries in center. Garnish with thinly sliced candied ginger (optional), and drizzle with honey. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Mix rolled and quick-cooking oats, pecans, walnuts, almonds, and pepitas together and spread out on a sheet pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Reduce oven temperature to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
• Mix maple syrup, coconut oil, crystallized ginger, turmeric, ground ginger, cinnamon, salt, cardamom, and pepper together in a smaller bowl and pour over the oats and nuts. Mix thoroughly, then pour mixture back onto the baking sheet.
• Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Turn oven off and leave granola in for 1 hour.
• Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Toast oats, almonds and walnuts in a wok or deep skillet for about 5 min over low heat. Stir often.
• Add raisins and coconut. Toast 3 min, stirring.
• Add flax seeds, wheat germ, candied ginger and powdered ginger. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
• It's done! Serve with fresh fruit and yogurt or milk.
