Description
This recipe takes your favorite savory snack to the next level! Not only is it tastier, but it’s much healthier for you. Coconut oil for the win! Popcorn is usually made commercially with hydrogenated oils and seed oils. Replacing these inflammatory oils, which science is proving more and more, are a contributor to many modern day diseases, I use coconut oil. Next time you are prepping for movie night, make this version instead, guilt-free. It can be made in a pan with a lid or my favorite popcorn pan, The Original Whirley Pop Popcorn Maker! My pot has been diligently making popcorn for over a decade. It’s durable and reasonably priced. While the popcorn pops you turn the handle, cooking it evenly, and preventing burning.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup organic popcorn kernels
- 4 Tablespoons coconut oil
- Sea salt to taste
- Butter to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Add popcorn and coconut oil to a 3-quart pot over medium heat and cover the pot with a lid.
- Shake the pot constantly as popcorn pops. When popping slows to a few seconds between pops, after about 3 to 5 minutes, remove pot from heat and pour popcorn into a large bowl. Season with sea salt.
- If you’re adding butter for flavor, melt in pan while still hot and pour over popcorn. (I like to brown it.)
