1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon grated or ground nutmeg
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

4. Heat the butter and honey together in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter melts. 
5. Stir in sea salt and vanilla. Remove from the heat.  
6. Pour the hot liquids over the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until the dry ingredients are evenly moist. 
7. Turn the granola onto the prepared pan and press firmly with a spatula to create an even layer, about 1/2 inch thick. 
8. Bake until the granola is firm to the touch and a deep golden brown, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. (The granola will become crisper as it cools.) 
9. Cool completely in the pan, then lift an edge of parchment and break the granola into pieces (if making bars) or break it up into small chunks by pounding it in a zip lock bag (if making cereal).
