Homemade Granola Board

Instructions

1

Heat the oven to 325° F. and set a rack in the center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, if desired.

2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy and bubbly. Whisk in the maple syrup, olive oil, and salt. Add the oats, pumpkin seeds, and almonds, and use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to toss until everything is coated in the syrup mixture.
3
Spread the granola in an even layer on the sheet pan. Bake until the granola is deep golden brown, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes to ensure even browning, 30 to 40 minutes total. Set aside to cool; the granola will continue to crisp as it cools.
4
Transfer the granola to a bowl to serve on a board or large platter. Serve the broiled fruit, caramelized bananas, and yogurt in small bowls around the board as desired.
5
Heat the broiler to high with a rack 6 inches from the heat source. If using citrus fruits, halve each one and trim the bottom of each half by about ¼ inch so that they can sit flat.
6
Place the fruit on the sheet pan (for stone fruit, the flesh should be facing up). Broil until the fruit is softened and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes for stone fruit, 6 to 7 minutes for citrus, or 7 to 8 minutes for pineapple, depending on your broiler strength.
7
Transfer the fruit to the board and let cool slightly before eating. It will keep for up to three days in an airtight container.
