You’re welcome.


Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 to 3 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes, such as Calabrian
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats (not quick-cooking)
  • 1/2 cup toasted buckwheat groats (kasha)
  • 1/2 cup seeds (such as flax, hemp, and sesame)
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup good quality maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 egg whites, beaten
  • 4 to 6 favorite mixed citrus, such as blood oranges, Cara Cara oranges, grapefruits, and satsuma mandarins, sliced and segmented
  • Sheep's-milk yogurt (plain or maple-flavored), for serving (optional)
  • Flaky salt

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small pot over medium heat, bring oil and red pepper flakes to a simmer, then remove from heat. Swirl in cinnamon and let stand a few minutes (the longer it sits, the spicier it will be). Strain into a large bowl though a fine-mesh sieve; remove 1 tablespoon or so of spicy oil and set aside.
  
 Step 2
To that same large bowl with spicy oil, add oats, buckwheat, seeds, almonds, maple syrup, kosher salt, and egg whites. Combine with a wooden spoon until everything is mixed and moistened. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and bake, rotating and mixing every 15 minutes, until golden brown and fragrant, 25 to 30 minutes.
   
Step 3
Arrange citrus on your plate or plates. Scatter with a handful of granola and top with a spoonful of yogurt (use the back of a spoon to give it a nice swoop), if desired. Drizzle with reserved spicy oil and sprinkle with flaky salt. Save any remaining granola in an airtight container up to 3 weeks.

Note:
To assemble a citrus salad that's as pretty as it is delicious, take the time to segment, slice, and supreme fruits that vary in size and color.

    This is a very serious food blog... I used to be famous for my single ingredient recipes. (If you're lucky I might share my watermelon fresca on here some day;) I've stepped things up a notch but still keep things pretty simple. Plant-based, healthy, with a dash of indulgence and a whole lot of deliciousness.
