Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
2. Prepare two sheet pans lined with parchment and set aside.
3. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the coconut oil, star anise and turmeric.
4. Warm gently for 20 minutes and strain through a mesh sieve.
5. Return the coconut oil to the saucepan and add the honey.
6. In a large bowl, combine the oats, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, Indian coriander and kosher salt. Stir to combine.
7. Put the coconut flakes in a separate, smaller bowl.
8. Pour most of the coconut oil and honey mixture over the oat mixture, reserving about 2 tablespoons to coat the coconut flakes. Add the reserved coconut oil and honey to the coconut.
9. Spread the oat mixture on one sheet pan and the coconut on the other.
10. Bake the oat mixture 35-40 minutes, stirring once at the 20 minute mark. Check for doneness every 10 minutes thereafter. When the granola is golden and fragrant, remove it from the oven. Be careful not to overcook. The granola won't be crunchy when you remove it from the oven, but will crisp as it cools on the sheet pan. After you remove the granola from the oven, toast the coconut for 5-7 minutes until golden and slightly browned.
11. Zest the orange over the warm granola and add the barberries and coconut. Allow the granola to cool on the pan. Mix the layers and store in an airtight container.
