Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
Instructions
Place a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and let it melt completely, swirling the pot occasionally to coat the bottom evenly.
Add 3 popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with a lid. These kernels will be your indicator for when the oil is hot enough.
Wait until the test kernels pop, then remove them from the pot using a spoon.
Quickly add the 1 cup of popcorn kernels to the pot and cover it again. Gently shake the pot back and forth over the burner to keep the kernels moving and to prevent burning.
Continue cooking, shaking occasionally, until the popping slows to about one pop every few seconds. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and immediately transfer the popcorn to a large serving bowl.
Sprinkle the popcorn with 1 teaspoon of Himalayan pink salt and toss well to ensure even coating.
Serve immediately as a warm and satisfying Whole30-compliant snack.
