Persian Spiced Popcorn
A delightful and unexpected Persian-inspired snack featuring popcorn seasoned with traditional spices and coconut oil instead of butter.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Popcorn Kernels
- 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon Sumac
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- 1Place a large, heavy-bottomed pot on the stove over medium heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and let it melt and heat up for about 1 minute.
- 2Add the 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels to the pot with the hot coconut oil. Immediately cover the pot with a lid.
- 3Cook the popcorn for about 3 to 5 minutes, listening carefully. When the popping sounds slow down to one pop every 2-3 seconds, it is time to remove the pot from the heat.
- 4Carefully pour all the popped popcorn from the pot into a large bowl.
- 5In a separate small bowl, combine the 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of sumac, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- 6Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the popcorn in the large bowl. Toss the popcorn gently but thoroughly with your hands or a large spoon until all the kernels are coated with the spices.
- 7Serve the Persian Spiced Popcorn immediately.
