Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Popcorn kernels
- 3 tablespoons Light-tasting olive oil or coconut oil
- 1/4 cup Sugar-free sweetener (such as Stevia or Erythritol)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large pot with a lid, heat the olive or coconut oil over medium heat. Add a few popcorn kernels and cover the pot.
Once the initial kernels pop, remove the popped ones and add the rest of the popcorn kernels to the pot. Sprinkle the sugar-free sweetener on top.
Cover the pot and gently shake it back and forth over the burner to keep the kernels moving and to prevent burning.
Listen carefully, and as soon as the popping slows to about 1-2 pops per second, remove the pot from the heat. Keep the lid on until the popping stops completely.
Immediately sprinkle the salt over the hot popcorn and give it a good toss in the pot to evenly distribute the flavors.
Transfer the kettle corn to a large bowl and let it cool slightly before serving.
