Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup popcorn kernels
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, add the coconut oil and 2 popcorn kernels. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and place it over medium heat.
Once the test kernels pop, remove them from the pot using tongs and add the remaining popcorn kernels in an even layer.
Cover the pot again and gently shake it to spread the oil over all the kernels. Continue heating the pot, occasionally shaking it as the kernels pop.
Once the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat and keep it covered until the popping fully stops.
Immediately pour the popcorn into a large bowl and set aside.
In a small saucepan over low-medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and honey together. Stir in the sugar until it thoroughly dissolves.
Simmer the honey-butter mixture for about 2 minutes, stirring often until it becomes smooth and slightly thickened.
Drizzle the honey mixture evenly over the popped popcorn.
Sprinkle with sea salt and, using a large spatula, gently toss the popcorn to evenly coat it with the honey mixture.
Let the popcorn cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the coating to set.
Enjoy your low-sodium honey kettle popcorn as a delightful snack!
