Ingredients
- 1 cup popcorn kernels
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, add the coconut oil and 2 popcorn kernels. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and place it over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the test kernels pop, remove them from the pot using tongs and add the remaining popcorn kernels in an even layer.
Step 3
Cover the pot again and gently shake it to spread the oil over all the kernels. Continue heating the pot, occasionally shaking it as the kernels pop.
Step 4
Once the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat and keep it covered until the popping fully stops.
Step 5
Immediately pour the popcorn into a large bowl and set aside.
Step 6
In a small saucepan over low-medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and honey together. Stir in the sugar until it thoroughly dissolves.
Step 7
Simmer the honey-butter mixture for about 2 minutes, stirring often until it becomes smooth and slightly thickened.
Step 8
Drizzle the honey mixture evenly over the popped popcorn.
Step 9
Sprinkle with sea salt and, using a large spatula, gently toss the popcorn to evenly coat it with the honey mixture.
Step 10
Let the popcorn cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the coating to set.
Step 11
Enjoy your low-sodium honey kettle popcorn as a delightful snack!
