Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Popcorn kernels
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Horopito spice
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- 1Place a large pot with a lid on the stove over medium heat. Add the 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to the pot. Heat the oil until it shimmers, which should take about 1-2 minutes. This is approximately 350°F (175°C).
- 2Carefully add the 1/4 cup of popcorn kernels to the hot coconut oil. Immediately cover the pot with the lid.
- 3Cook the popcorn, shaking the pot gently every 30 seconds to prevent burning. Listen for the popping sounds. When the popping slows to about one pop every 2-3 seconds, the popcorn is ready. This should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
- 4Remove the pot from the heat. Carefully pour the freshly popped popcorn into a large bowl.
- 5Sprinkle the 1/2 teaspoon of Horopito spice and the 1/4 teaspoon of salt over the popcorn.
- 6Toss the popcorn gently with your hands or a large spoon until the spice and salt are evenly distributed over all the kernels.
- 7Serve the Horopito-Spiced Popcorn immediately for the best flavor and texture.
