Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Begin by gathering all the ingredients and necessary equipment, including a large pot or deep skillet with a well-fitting lid.
Place the pot over medium heat and add the coconut oil. Let it melt completely before proceeding.
Once the oil has melted, add the popcorn kernels to the pot, ensuring that they are spread out evenly at the bottom.
Sprinkle the granulated erythritol and salt over the popcorn kernels evenly to ensure even coating.
Cover the pot with the lid, leaving a small crack to allow steam to escape, and shake the pot gently so the kernels and sweetener mix well.
Keep the pot over medium heat and listen carefully. As the popcorn begins to pop (this usually takes a few minutes), shake the pot occasionally to prevent the kernels from burning.
Once the popping reduces significantly, remove the pot from the heat. The popping should almost stop completely.
Carefully remove the lid to release steam and let the popped kernels cool slightly.
Transfer the sugar-free kettle popcorn to a serving bowl and enjoy!
