Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/3 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Place a large pot on the stove over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil.
Step 2
Once the coconut oil has melted, add a few popcorn kernels to the pot. Cover with a lid and wait until these few kernels pop.
Step 3
Remove the pot from the heat and add the rest of the popcorn kernels, ensuring they form an even layer at the bottom of the pot.
Step 4
Add the coconut sugar and sea salt to the pot, replacing the lid. Give the pot a gentle shake to evenly distribute the sugar and salt.
Step 5
Return the pot to the heat. As the popcorn begins to pop, gently shake the pot occasionally to ensure even popping and to prevent sticking or burning.
Step 6
When the popping slows significantly, remove the pot from heat and carefully transfer the kettle corn to a large mixing bowl.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed, adding a pinch more sea salt for a greater punch of flavor.
Step 8
Allow the popcorn to cool slightly for the caramelized coconut sugar coating to harden slightly. Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 snack!
