Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/3 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Place a large pot on the stove over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil.
Once the coconut oil has melted, add a few popcorn kernels to the pot. Cover with a lid and wait until these few kernels pop.
Remove the pot from the heat and add the rest of the popcorn kernels, ensuring they form an even layer at the bottom of the pot.
Add the coconut sugar and sea salt to the pot, replacing the lid. Give the pot a gentle shake to evenly distribute the sugar and salt.
Return the pot to the heat. As the popcorn begins to pop, gently shake the pot occasionally to ensure even popping and to prevent sticking or burning.
When the popping slows significantly, remove the pot from heat and carefully transfer the kettle corn to a large mixing bowl.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed, adding a pinch more sea salt for a greater punch of flavor.
Allow the popcorn to cool slightly for the caramelized coconut sugar coating to harden slightly. Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 snack!
