Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Organic popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
Directions
Step 1
Gather all ingredients and have them ready. Ensure popcorn kernels are fresh for the best flavor.
Step 2
In a large heavy-bottomed pot with a lid, heat the extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
To test if the oil is hot enough, drop in a couple of popcorn kernels. When these kernels pop, the oil is ready.
Step 4
Add the rest of the popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with the lid, leaving it slightly ajar to let steam escape.
Step 5
Shake the pot gently in a back-and-forth motion over the burner to prevent the kernels from burning and to help them pop evenly.
Step 6
Continue shaking the pot occasionally. Once the popping slows down to about 2-3 seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat.
Step 7
Carefully remove the lid to avoid any remaining popping kernels, and transfer the popcorn to a large bowl.
Step 8
Sprinkle the Himalayan pink salt over the popcorn. Toss well to evenly coat the popcorn with salt.
Step 9
Serve the popcorn immediately as a delicious, heart-healthy snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
