Steps

01Combine oats, honey, coconut oil, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla.
02Fold in the coconut flakes.
03Spread thin on parchment.
04Ready for the air fryer.
05Cool completely. Fold in dried mango and macadamia nuts.

Coconut flakes toast even faster than nuts. Watch them closely. They go from golden to burnt in about 30 seconds. If they're browning too fast, pull them out separately and add them back to the cooled granola with the other mix-ins.
