Healthier Homemade Popcorn
Ingredients
- 3 teaspoons coconut oil
- Sea salt
- ⅓ cup organic popcorn kernels
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a pan on medium to high heat and add a few kernels.
- Once they are popped, add the rest of the kernels so they are all flat on the bottom of the pan ready to be popped.
- Cover and wait until you hear the kernels get going and they’re popping frequently.
- Now take off the heat for 30 seconds or so and then return to the heat, ensuring you shake the pan to stop the kernels sticking and burning. I have a lid that is made of glass, which makes it easy to see how the popcorn is going. If you don’t have a glass lid, it’s okay to lift the lid and take a peek.
- Once all the kernels are popped, place them in a bowl and drizzle melted coconut oil over them along with some sea salt. Mix well with a fork.
- You can leave popcorn salty or add a teaspoon or two of coconut nectar (available at most natural foods stores) for a slightly sweet taste.
- You can also add some of your favorite trail-mix fixings, like goji berries, cacao, seeds and nuts and even cinnamon or vanilla powder, for extra flavor and protein. One of my favorites is a blend of popcorn, hemp seed, coconut nectar, cinnamon, ginger powder and cacao powder—yum!
