In a large, deep pot or popcorn maker, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Ensure the pot has a lid or a way to contain the popcorn as it pops.
Once the oil is hot, add the popcorn kernels to the pot. Stir well to coat all the kernels with oil.
Sprinkle the erythritol sweetener and salt evenly over the kernels.
Cover the pot with the lid, leaving a small gap for steam to escape. This will help keep your popcorn crisp.
Shake the pot occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent the kernels from burning. Continue to cook until the popping slows to a few seconds between pops.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit covered for a minute to allow any remaining kernels to pop.
Carefully remove the lid (watch out for steam), and use a large spoon to transfer the popcorn to a serving bowl. This helps avoid picking up any unpopped kernels.
Taste the popcorn and add more salt if desired. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
