Keto Savory Nut-Free Seed Granola

A few years back I had one of the most delicious salads I’ve ever had at a restaurant in Bali. The salad itself was quite basic — a mix of fresh and steams greens and vegetables — with a delicious dressing.

But the real star and thing that transformed the salad into being such a memorable dish was the savoury granola sprinkled on top. A mix of seeds and shredded coconut with the perfect umami flavourings.

I played around with the recipe at home until I got it as close to the restaurant version as I could. A little sweet and a little savoury, this low-carb and keto granola is the perfect topping to any salad, stew, curry or soup and adds not only it’s delicious flavour but a lovely crunchy texture.

Step-by-step

1. Preheat oven to 150 °C/ 300 °F (conventional), or 130 °C/ 265 °F (fan assisted).

   

2. Mix the seeds and coconut together in a bowl. Add the remaining four ingredients to a small saucepan smaller bowl and mix to form a paste. Stir over low heat until the Sukrin gold is dissolved. It may separate — this is fine.

   

3. Pour over the seeds and coconut and mix well to combine.

   

4. Pour the mixture into a lined baking tray and spread out.

   

5. Bake about 15 minutes or until brown and crisp — keep an eye on it as it will burn quite quickly!

   

6. Allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to four weeks.
