Revive Stale Granola

Noting is more disappointing than stale granola.  The once wonderful crunch has turned into something that's soft, chewy, and dull. But that's no reason to toss it! There's a way to revive stale granola so that it regains that crisp bite. All it takes is spreading the granola in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and heating it in a 400 degree oven for five minutes — essentially re-baking it. You'll want to be sure to avoid piling up the granola, so if you've got a lot, it's best to grab a second baking sheet. Once the granola cools completely, it'll have that crispy crunch again. Whether it's homemade or store-bought, properly storing granola will help extend the shelf life and maintain crunchiness. Store granola in an airtight container or tightly sealed zip-top bag in a dry, dark place away from heat. The pantry or a kitchen cabinet makes a good choice. Most store-bought options come with a resealable top, but if not, it's helpful to transfer it to an airtight jar or container.
