Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup popcorn kernels
  • pink Himalayan salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot on low heat. I don't turn it higher than 2 on my stove, but stoves vary in heat. Add the coconut oil.

  2. When the coconut oil has melted, add around 4 popcorn kernels, and put the lid on the pot. Wait until you hear those kernels pop.

  3. Once they have popped, add the remaining popcorn kernels and swirl them around so that they are all in coconut oil.

  4. Some people say you should take the pot off the burner for 30-60 seconds here to allow the oil to heat the kernels, but I always skip this step and don't have issues.

  5. Place the pot back on the burner, and cover with the lid. The kernels will begin popping. Since you have the heat on low, you shouldn't have issues with burning, but you can shake the pot gently to keep kernels on the bottom from burning. Wait until several seconds go by with no more popping kernels, and remove the pot from the heat.

  6. Transfer popcorn to a large bowl, sprinkle popcorn with pink Himalayan salt, and enjoy!
