Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil or oil of choice

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a medium sized saucepan on medium-low heat, with 3 popcorn kernels in it. Cover and wait for kernels to pop.
  • After the 3 popcorn kernels have popped the oil and saucepan are hot enough. Add in the rest of the popcorn kernels and cover.
  • As the kernels pop, shake the saucepan to allow the remaining kernels to fall back to the bottom. Periodically lift the saucepan lid away from you to release some of the steam.
  • Once the rate of kernels popping is once every couple of seconds, turn off the heat and empty the popcorn into a bowl.
  • Sprinkle popcorn with seasoning of choice and mix to fully coat.
