Ingredients
- 0.5 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or coconut oil)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Step 2
Add 2-3 popcorn kernels to the pot as testers. Cover the pot with a lid and wait for the testers to pop. Once they do, the oil is ready.
Step 3
Add the remaining popcorn kernels to the pot, spreading them into an even layer. Cover with the lid, leaving it slightly ajar to allow steam to escape.
Step 4
Gently shake the pot intermittently to prevent burning. Continue cooking until the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops, then remove from heat.
Step 5
Transfer the popped popcorn to a large bowl.
Step 6
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the lemon zest, dried dill, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 7
Drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the popcorn, tossing as you go to ensure even coating.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve immediately and enjoy your Lemon and Dill Popcorn!
