Easy Coconut Oil Popcorn
This recipe takes classic popcorn to a whole new level with the richness of coconut oil. It’s light, fluffy, and just the right amount of savory sweet. Perfect for movie nights, hanging out with friends, or just when you need a little snack to satisfy those cravings!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- Optional toppings: nutritional yeast, parmesan cheese, or your favorite seasoning
Instructions:
- First off, get your trusty pot ready! A large heavy-bottomed pot is ideal for this job. Add the coconut oil to the pot and let it melt over medium heat.
- Once the oil is melted and hot, toss in a few kernels of popcorn. Cover the pot and wait for those kernels to pop. This will let you know if the oil is at the right temperature.
- When those test kernels pop, take them out and add the rest of your popcorn kernels to the pot. Cover it again and give it a shake to coat the kernels with that glorious coconut oil.
- Let the popcorn pop! You’ll want to occasionally shake the pot to keep the heat even and to prevent burning. It should start popping pretty quickly—just listen to that sound!
- Once the popping slow down, take the pot off the heat. Be careful, as the pot will be hot!
- Transfer your popcorn to a big bowl. Now it’s time to season! Sprinkle the salt (and any other optional toppings) over the warm popcorn, tossing it to evenly coat every bite.
And there you have it! Easy coconut oil popcorn that’s ready to munch on. Whether you’re just chilling at home or entertaining guests, this snack is bound to impress. Enjoy your homemade treat and happy snacking!
