• 热油,枫糖浆,2-quar和香草t saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bubbles begin to appear around the edge of the pan, about 4 minutes. Pour the oil mixture over the dry ingredients. Using two large spoons, gently mix and toss until the dry ingredients are evenly moistened.
• Spread the mixture onto the two rimmed baking sheets and bake, tossing the granola and swapping and rotating the sheets halfway through, until golden brown and no longer sticky, 10 to 14 minutes.
• While the granola is still hot, toss it with the cherries, using 1/2 cup per sheet. Let cool to room temperature without disturbing. Using your hands, break up any large clumps of granola—you want pieces that range in size from almonds to peas. Store in airtight containers at room temperature in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
