Preheat oven to 162°C. Line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a heavy saucepan, put together canola, sunflower or vegetable oil, honey, brown sugar and salt. Place pan oven medium-high heat and bring mixture to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes, or until brown sugar is dissolved.

Remove saucepan from heat and add the hot syrup to the oat mixture. Toss well. Transfer mixture to a half-sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and cool completely.
