Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1/2 cup of honey together.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of salt to the oil and honey mixture and mix well.

Add 2 cups of whole rolled oats to the mixture and stir to combine.

Add 1/2 cup of slivered almonds to the bowl and mix everything together until well combined.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Spread the granola mixture evenly on the baking sheet, allowing some clumps to form.

Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.

Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes to help form clusters.

After cooling, add freeze-dried strawberries to the granola and mix gently.
