Ingredients
- 1 cup Organic popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
Directions
Step 1
Place a large, heavy-bottomed pot on the stove over medium heat.
Step 2
Add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to the pot and let it melt completely.
Step 3
To test if the oil is ready for popping, add a couple of popcorn kernels into the pot. Once they pop, the oil is hot enough.
Step 4
Add the 1 cup of organic popcorn kernels to the pot in an even layer.
Step 5
Cover the pot with a lid, leaving a small gap for steam to escape to prevent the popcorn from getting soggy.
Step 6
Shake the pot gently but continuously, holding the lid on securely, to ensure all kernels are evenly coated in oil and cook evenly.
Step 7
Once popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat to prevent burning.
Step 8
Transfer the popped popcorn immediately to a large bowl.
Step 9
Sprinkle the popcorn with 1 teaspoon of Himalayan pink salt. Taste and adjust salt as desired for flavor.
Step 10
Gently toss the popcorn to evenly distribute the salt before serving.
