Ingredients
- 0.5 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt substitute
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large pot with a lid over medium heat and add the canola oil.
Step 2
Add a couple of popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with the lid. Wait for these kernels to pop as an indication that the oil is hot enough.
Step 3
Once the initial kernels pop, add the remaining popcorn kernels to the pot along with the granulated sugar.
Step 4
Stir quickly with a wooden spoon to coat the kernels with sugar, and cover the pot with the lid.
Step 5
Shake the pot occasionally to ensure even popping and prevent kernels from burning. Continue until most kernels have popped and popping slows down significantly.
Step 6
Remove the pot from the heat and carefully transfer the popcorn to a large bowl.
Step 7
In a small microwave-safe dish, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds.
Step 8
Drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn, and toss gently to coat.
Step 9
Sprinkle the salt substitute evenly over the popcorn and toss again.
Step 10
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container once cooled. Enjoy your low sodium kettle popcorn as a tasty, guilt-free treat!
