Ingredients
- 0.5 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Place a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid on medium heat. Add the extra virgin olive oil to the pot.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, add a few popcorn kernels to the pot and cover it.
Step 3
Wait for these kernels to pop, which indicates that the oil is hot enough. Once popped, remove the test kernels.
Step 4
Quickly add the rest of the popcorn kernels in an even layer. Immediately drizzle the honey over the kernels, and sprinkle with sea salt.
Step 5
Cover the pot with the lid, but leave it slightly ajar so steam can escape. Shake the pot gently back and forth over the heat as the kernels pop.
Step 6
Continue shaking frequently until the popping slows down to about 2 seconds between pops.
Step 7
Remove the pot from the heat, and carefully transfer the kettle corn to a large bowl.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the sea salt if necessary. Allow the kettle corn to cool for a few minutes before serving to let it crisp up further.
