Cinnamon Granola

This recipe was modified from Ina Garten's Food Network show, which I saw around 2006. It's very easy and delicious.

Cinnamon Granola

4 C rolled oats
2 C sweetened shredded coconut
2 C sliced almonds
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries (dried cherries or raisins work well too)
1/2 C vegetable oil
1/3 C honey
2 tsp ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350. Toss oats, coconut, almonds, and dried fruit in large bowl. Pour the vegetable oil and honey over the oat mixture. Add cinnamon, stir with a wooden spoon until all the oats and nuts are coated. Pour onto a sheet pan. Bake, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until the mixture turns a nice golden brown, about 25-30 mins. Remove the granola from the oven, cool, stirring occasionally. Store in airtight container.
