Collected Foods kitchen recipe.

Decidedly Not-Sweet Granola with Aleppo: Bakery-style warmth from the spice drawer, not a mix. Collected Foods Aleppo Pepper is the flavor driver.

Serves: makes about 4 cups

Why this spice: Collected Foods Aleppo Pepper keeps this savory granola snacky and chili-bright instead of breakfast-sweet.

Ingredients

• 3 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup mixed nuts, chopped
• 1/2 cup seeds (pumpkin or sunflower)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (just enough to bind)
• 1.5 tsp Collected Foods Aleppo Pepper
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 egg white, lightly beaten (optional, for clusters)

Directions

1. Heat oven to 325°F. Mix oats, nuts, seeds, oil, maple, Aleppo Pepper, salt, garlic powder, and egg white if using.
2. Spread on a lined sheet. Bake 30–35 minutes, stirring once, until golden.
3. Cool completely; it crisps as it cools. Store airtight up to 2 weeks.
4. Eat by the handful, on salads, or over savory yogurt.
