Homemade savory granola to add flavor and health to your meals

A variation of sweet granola, perfect for adding flavor and health to your meals

Savory granola is a variation of traditional granola, generally known for being a mix of sugary cereals. The savory version, however, is suitable for palates who prefer non-sweet snacks or meal complements.

It maintains a base of whole grains, such as oats, wheat and others, but includes a variety of seeds (such as pumpkin, sunflower and chia), walnuts, almonds, chestnuts and other savory ingredients or toppings.

This type of granola can be consumed in several ways:

• As a healthy snack between meals;
• Sprinkled on salads to add texture and flavor;
• As a complement to first courses, as part of a crunchy covering for roasts or gratins;
• As an ingredient in bread and muffin recipes to add nutrients and fiber.

Savory granola is an interesting option for those looking for healthy alternatives or complements to their meals, rich in fiber, protein and healthy fats, which contribute to satiety and offer nutritional benefits.

As always, it’s important to check the ingredients to choose options that are low in sodium and free of unnecessary additives.

For this homemade savory granola recipe we will need:

• 2 cups thick rolled oats;
• 50 g of black chia;
• 50 g of sunflower seeds;
• 50 g of pumpkin seeds;
• 50 g of pistachios;
• 50 g of flaked almonds;
• 50 g of walnuts;
• 50 g of cashews;
• salt;
• Black pepper;
• smoked paprika;
• oil.

Preparation method:

Mix all the ingredients in a baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes at 180 degrees, stirring every 5 minutes. Allow to cool and store in an airtight container for up to 30 days.
