Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shelled pistachios, raw pumpkin seeds, and shredded coconut.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting, until the granola is golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the tray. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries or cherries.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It will keep well for up to two weeks at room temperature.
