Stovetop Popcorn

stovetoppopcornIf you don’t have a popcorn maker, using this stovetop method is a much healthier way to prepare popcorn than using the microwave.

¼ cup coconut oil
¼ tsp. coarse sea salt
¾ cup popcorn kernels

In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, melt coconut oil with salt. Add a few popcorn kernels to hot oil and cover. After kernels pop, remove and discard, then add remaining kernels to hot oil and cover.

Continue to cook, shaking the pot frequently and keeping the lid slightly ajar. Remove from heat when popping sound slows nearly to a stop, 3-7 minutes. Transfer popcorn to a large serving bowl.

Makes 12 servings.
