Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and set an oven rack in the middle position. Line a 13 x 18-inch (33 x 46-cm) rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. (If using parchment sheets, line the pan first with heavy-duty aluminum foil, then parchment.)

Step 2

Combine the oats, almonds, pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, wheat germ, coconut, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl and mix well.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and oil until emulsified. Pour the mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well.

Step 4

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring and re-spreading a few times with a spatula, until the entire mixture is medium golden brown. Watch carefully towards the end; granola burns quickly and will brown first in the corners and on the bottom.

Step 5

Toss the granola with a spatula and mix in the dried fruits. Spread and press into an even, compact layer, then let cool on a rack to room temperature. Break the granola into large clusters and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
