Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unpopped popcorn kernels
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Heat the coconut oil in a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add 2-3 popcorn kernels to the pot and cover it with a lid.
Step 2
When the test kernels pop, remove them from the pot and add the remaining popcorn kernels. Cover the pot, leaving the lid slightly ajar to let steam escape.
Step 3
Shake the pot occasionally while the kernels pop to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
Step 4
Once the popping slows to about 2-3 seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat.
Step 5
Transfer the popped popcorn to a large mixing bowl.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Step 7
Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the popcorn, tossing well to coat all the kernels.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your spiced low-carb popcorn!
