- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

- In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, honey, sugar, and salt until well combined; stir into the dry oat mixture and mix well with a rubber spatula.
- Spread on the prepared sheet pan in an even layer and place in the oven for 25- 35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes with a rubber spatula and then spreading it out evenly after.
- Continue until the granola has a golden-brown color. Be careful, as the granola can start to burn in the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Remove from the oven and immediately stir in the dried fruit.
- Smooth back into a compact layer and allow to cool completely.
