Ingredients
- 1 cup unpopped corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional, for cheese flavor)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a heavy-bottomed pot with a lid over medium heat. Add the coconut oil and three popcorn kernels to the pot.
Step 2
Cover the pot and wait for the kernels to pop. This will help determine when the oil is hot enough.
Step 3
Once the three kernels pop, add the remaining 1 cup of corn kernels in an even layer. Shake the pot gently to ensure all kernels are coated with oil.
Step 4
Cover the pot and remove from heat for 30 seconds to allow all the kernels to reach a uniform temperature, ensuring that they pop evenly.
Step 5
Return the pot to the heat. With the lid slightly ajar to let steam escape, gently shake the pot over the burner to keep the kernels moving.
Step 6
Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat.
Step 7
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave.
Step 8
Immediately pour the popped popcorn into a large bowl and drizzle the melted butter over it, tossing well to coat evenly.
Step 9
Sprinkle Himalayan pink salt and nutritional yeast, if using, over the popcorn and toss again until the kernels are evenly seasoned.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy this light, crispy snack suitable for a keto diet.
