Prepare your air fryer basket by lining it with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped pecans, cinnamon, salt, and cocoa powder. Mix them thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the spices and seasoning.

Drizzle the maple syrup over the oat and pecan mixture. Stir well to make sure everything is well combined.

Carefully pour the granola mixture into the parchment paper-lined air fryer basket. Spread it out evenly to ensure even cooking.

Place the basket into the air fryer and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes. During this time, keep an eye on the granola to prevent overcooking. You may want to give it a gentle shake or stir halfway through to ensure even browning.

After 10 minutes, carefully remove the air fryer basket and allow the granola to cool completely. It will become crispier as it cools.

Once the granola has cooled, sprinkle the Lily's chocolate chips over the granola and gently mix them in.

Transfer your homemade air fryer granola to an airtight container or enjoy it straight away as a delicious snack or breakfast topping.
