Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Organic popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
Instructions
Gather all ingredients and have them ready. Ensure popcorn kernels are fresh for the best flavor.
In a large heavy-bottomed pot with a lid, heat the extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat.
To test if the oil is hot enough, drop in a couple of popcorn kernels. When these kernels pop, the oil is ready.
Add the rest of the popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with the lid, leaving it slightly ajar to let steam escape.
Shake the pot gently in a back-and-forth motion over the burner to prevent the kernels from burning and to help them pop evenly.
Continue shaking the pot occasionally. Once the popping slows down to about 2-3 seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat.
Carefully remove the lid to avoid any remaining popping kernels, and transfer the popcorn to a large bowl.
Sprinkle the Himalayan pink salt over the popcorn. Toss well to evenly coat the popcorn with salt.
Serve the popcorn immediately as a delicious, heart-healthy snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
