Sesame and pine nut air fryer granola

Step 1

First, you need to line the air fryer tray/crisper plate carefully with baking paper: cut out a large square of baking paper (about 25cm x 25cm), fold it into a triangle, fold it again, and then again to create pleats.

Step 2

Next, open it up and press the paper into the crisper plate inside the air fryer chamber. The paper should come up the sides – trim it with scissors if it goes over.

Step 3

Weigh all the ingredients into the lined chamber in the order in which they’re listed, then add three tablespoons of water.

Step 4

Pop the whole thing into the air fryer and set it to the roast function at 180C/350F for eight minutes (no need to preheat).

Step 5

Open and mix the granola inside its paper basket in the air fryer chamber, until everything is well-coated in the sweet, oily liquid. Cook on the same setting for another eight minutes, then stop the air-fryer again, mix and cook for yet another eight minutes.

Step 6

For the final stage, switch the setting to air fry at 180C, then cook for five minutes more.

Step 7

Carefully lift out the paper by its sides and put on a flat tray or board, so the granola can cool faster. Once cool, transfer to an airtight jar.
