MAKE SOME WITHOUT COCONUT. Some people are weird and have strong feelings about coconut
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a large bowl, combine oats, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, coconut chips, maple syrup, extra-virgin olive oil, evaporated cane juice, salt, cinnamon and cardamom. Spread mixture on a rimmed baking sheet in an even layer and bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until golden brown and well toasted.
2. Transfer granola to a large bowl and add chopped apricots, tossing to combine. Serve with ricotta and fruit, if desired.
Yield: About 9 cups.
