Step 1

Preheat oven to 350ºF and place the rack in the center of the oven. Line a rimmed (18 x 13-inch) baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine oats, sliced almonds and kosher salt.

Step 3

In a large (4-cup) measuring cup, combine maple syrup, olive oil, almond and vanilla extracts using a fork or a whisk.

Step 4

Pour olive oil mixture over the oats mixture and stir to combine. Using a rubber spatula, spread evenly over baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake for 20 minutes. Rotate baking sheet front to back. Bake another 20 minutes. Pull the pan from the oven and carefully inspect the granola. If it is golden brown throughout and darker brown on the edges, it is done. If not, return to the oven and keep a close eye on it while you bake another 3-5 minutes.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and cool granola in the pan. Transfer to an airtight jar or other container using a spatula. Or gather up the edges of the parchment paper or silicon mat and use it as a scoop to transfer the granola.
