Step 3

Place mixture on a lightly oiled baking sheet, spread evenly.

Step 4

Bake at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes, stirring/tossing every 10 minutes, until granola is becoming nicely browned.

Step 5

Remove from oven, toss the chocolate chips over top and give it a quick, gentle stir. Salt lightly, to taste.
