Add rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt and pecans to a large mixing bowl. .Pour in the maple syrup, olive oil, fresh orange juice, and fresh orange zest. Use a wooden spoon to thoroughly combine.
Line a cookie sheet (or half sheet pan) with parchment paper. Spread granola on the parchment paper as thinly as possible.
Bake at 350 degrees for 16-18 minutes. Halfway through (at the 8 minute mark), remove the granola from the oven and stir the oats. Return to the oven for another 8 minutes. Keep an eye on the pecans to make sure they don't burn.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a storage container. Store refrigerated for up to 7 days.
Notes
Maple syrup: Adjust to taste. You can use any liquid sweetener you like.
Oranges: One small orange will yield about 2 tablespoons of orange juice. Choose a clementine, tangerine or cutie.
