Zest an orange (about half a tablespoon) and add it to the dry ingredients.

Add turmeric and cinnamon to the dry mixture and mix thoroughly.

Add a generous pinch of salt to the dry ingredients and mix again.

Melt coconut oil and combine it with maple syrup and one teaspoon of vanilla extract in a separate bowl.

Whisk the wet ingredients together until well combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix until everything is evenly coated.

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Line two half-sheet baking sheets with parchment paper and spread the granola mixture evenly on the sheets.

Set a timer for 25 minutes and bake the granola.

After 25 minutes, take the granola out and mix it around to ensure even toasting.

Return the granola to the oven and set the timer for an additional 5 minutes, checking until golden brown.

Once golden brown, remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely before transferring to airtight containers.
