Savory Granola with Thai Curry Paste
I am Team Savory over Team Sweet, so I love giving classic sweet recipes, such as this Asian granola, a savory spin. This savory granola is great as a salty snack, or tossed over salads and soups.
Ingredients
- ⅓ Cup sugar
- 2 Tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Oat-Nut Mixture
- 3½ Cups oats Use old-fashioned rolled oats for a crunchier granola. (Quick oats will be too powdery and steel-cut oats will make the granola too hard.)
- ½ Cup pumpkin seeds
Seasoning Mix
- 1½ Tablespoon Thai red curry paste
- 1½ Tablespoon dark soy sauce
- ¼ Cup olive oil
Instructions
- Mix the garlic powder, chia seeds, sesame seeds, and sugar well.
- Mix the oats and pumpkin seeds then pour in the spice mixture from the previous step.
- Stir the curry paste, dark soy sauce, and olive oil till well mixed. Combine with the oats mixture from the previous step.
- Bake at 350F/177C / 157C fan for 25-30 minutes. You must check on it from the 20 minute mark as it becomes overbooked more quickly than a sweet granola.
