Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, slivered almonds, sunflower seeds, and shredded coconut. Stir to evenly distribute.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey and coconut oil. Stir continuously until the coconut oil is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients, then add the ground cinnamon and salt. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the honey mixture.
Spread the mixture out onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries.
Transfer to an airtight container for storage. The granola will keep for up to two weeks.
