Coconut Oil Popcorn
This simple homemade coconut oil popcorn is a delicious and healthy snack. It cooks right on the stove-top in just a few minutes. You may never reach for those microwaveable bags again.
Servings: 8 cups
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup un-popped 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 to the bottom of the pan. (These 3 are to test the temperature).
- Once the kernels start popping, add rest of the 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 large bowl and sprinkle with salt, herbs, or even a little melted butter.
Notes
- Don’t heat the oil above medium heat. Overly hot oil will burn the kernels.
- 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.
