Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Popping corn kernels
- 3 tablespoons Coconut sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large pot with a lid over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil.
Step 2
Once the oil has melted and is hot, add 3 popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with the lid.
Step 3
Wait for these kernels to pop, which indicates the oil is hot enough. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Once they pop, add the remaining 1/2 cup of popping corn kernels to the pot, along with the coconut sugar and the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil.
Step 5
Quickly stir everything to evenly coat the kernels with oil and sugar, then cover the pot with the lid.
Step 6
Hold the pot by the handles, using oven mitts to protect your hands, and gently shake it over the burner to keep the sugar from burning and the popcorn from sticking.
Step 7
Continue shaking the pot intermittently once you hear the kernels starting to pop. Lift the pot occasionally to allow steam to escape and ensure even popping.
Step 8
Once the popping slows to about 1 pop every 2-3 seconds, remove the pot from the heat but keep it covered until the popping stops completely.
Step 9
Carefully remove the lid and sprinkle the sea salt over the hot popcorn. Stir the popcorn gently to evenly distribute the salt.
Step 10
Allow the kettle corn to cool slightly before serving, as it will be hot from the caramelized sugar.
