Ingredients

1/3 cup unpopped organic popcorn kernels
3 tablespoons coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

In a large pot over medium-low heat, add coconut oil and 3 kernels of popcorn (yes, just 3 to test the temperature).
Once the kernels start popping, add remaining kernels and place lid on the pot at an angle so steam can release.
Shake the pot gently while the kernels cook, to help prevent burning.
Allow to pop until there are about 10-20 seconds between pops.
Pour into a bowl and sprinkle with salt, herbs, or even a little melted butter.

Notes

Don’t heat the oil above medium heat, to make sure the oil or kernels don’t burn.
Leave the lid tilted over the pan to release steam. This will help keep the popcorn crunchy and not moist.
You can make stove-top popcorn on a glass stove-top. If you are afraid of scratching the glass, raise up the pot slightly to shake.
