FAVORITE PERFECT POPCORN RECIPE
I know it’s such a VERY SIMPLE thing: Stovetop POPPED Popcorn, but sometimes we need a little reminder how FUN and EASY it is to make snacks at home!
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsps unrefined organic coconut oil, ghee, or avocado oil
- 1/2 cup organic popcorn kernels
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt, to taste
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Instructions:
- Place a heavy-bottomed pot on your stovetop.
- Add oil and heat over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, CAREFULLY add 2-3 popcorn kernels as a test round. Once the first kernel pops, stir in the remaining 1/2 cup. Carefully stir to evenly coat all the kernels with oil, then cover with a lid.
- Next, allow the pot to sit undisturbed over medium heat.
- You’ll hear the popcorn pop continuously for about a minute or so.
- Once the popping stops or slows drastically, then immediately take the pot off the heat. Burnt popcorn is the worst, so tend to your batch!
Sprinkle with sea salt and paprika, or any seasonings of your choice, then toss to coat.
