SEEDED PECAN GRANOLA

Maple-glazed pecans, coconut oil and a hint of spice bring big flavor to this crunchy, cluster-packed granola, adapted from the restaurant Jon & Vinny's in Los Angeles. If you don't have flaky sea salt, kosher salt is fine; just use slightly less (about 3/4 teaspoon, give or take).
