Air fry at 284°F (140°C) for 12-15 minutes, stirring the granola every 4-5 minutes to ensure even toasting and prevent burning. The granola should be golden brown and fragrant. Keep a close eye on it during the last few minutes as air fryers can vary.

Once cooked, carefully transfer the warm granola from the air fryer basket into a clean glass bowl. Immediately add the golden raisins and dark raisins (or black currants) to the warm granola and stir to combine. The residual heat will slightly soften the dried fruits.

Allow the granola to cool completely at room temperature. As it cools, it will become crispier. Once fully cooled, store the granola in an airtight container for up to several weeks.

Oven baking alternative: If you don't have an air fryer, spread the granola mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 320°F (160°C) for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
