Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 275ºF (135ºC). Slide an oven rack to the center position. Line a half sheet baking pan with parchment paper.
- In 2 medium bowls, mix the oats, nuts and seeds, millet, coconut flakes, and sesame seeds for each mini batch of granola. Set the bowls aside.
- In a small bowl, use a fork to mix the coconut sugar and orange zest. Add the egg white, coconut oil, maple syrup, soy sauce, and vanilla. Whisk until incorporated.
- Pour the orange syrup mixture into one of the bowls with the dry ingredients. Use a flat spatula to combine the wet and dry ingredients.
- Pour and spread the granola over one half of the lined sheet pan. Flatten the granola so that everything is touching each other and there are no big gaps in between.
- In a small bowl, use a fork to mix together the granulated sugar and orange zest. Add the egg white, black sesame paste, coconut oil, maple syrup, soy sauce, and vanilla. Whisk until incorporated.
- Pour the black sesame paste mixture into the remaining bowl of dry ingredients and mix together with the spatula.
- Pour the granola over the empty half of the baking pan. Spread and flatten the granola so everything is touching each other. The entire surface area of the sheet pan should be covered with granola.
- Bake the granola for 68 to 70 minutes, making sure to rotate the pans after 35 minutes of baking. The orange side of the granola should be a deep golden brown color.
- Let the granola cool completely before breaking apart and eating. The cooling process is very important to getting the granola extra crunchy.
- Once cool, break the sheet of granola into clusters. For a snacking granola, break them up into large shards.
- Store the ginger granola in an airtight container. It will stay crunchy for at least 2 to 3 weeks!
