Butter and Season
Toss the finished popcorn with 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1/2 tsp of smoked paprika, and 2 tbsp of nutritional yeast for a cheesy, savory flavor.
Create a kettle corn style by adding 3 tbsp of granulated sugar along with the popcorn kernels and oil. Shake the pot constantly during popping to prevent the sugar from burning.
Melt 1 tbsp of finely chopped fresh rosemary or thyme into the butter before drizzling it over the popcorn for an aromatic twist.
Add 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce to the melted butter for a spicy kick.
As a whole grain, popcorn is rich in dietary fiber, which is crucial for maintaining a healthy digestive system, promoting regular bowel movements, and helping you feel full longer.
Popcorn contains a high concentration of polyphenols, a type of antioxidant linked to improved blood circulation, digestive health, and a reduced risk of certain chronic diseases.
A single serving of this recipe (approximately 4 cups) contains around 280-300 calories, primarily from the coconut oil and butter.
Popcorn itself is a whole grain and a good source of fiber. However, this recipe includes significant amounts of butter and oil, making it a high-fat, high-calorie snack. For a healthier version, you can reduce the amount of butter and salt or use an air-popper.
Un-popped kernels, often called 'old maids,' can result from a few factors. The kernels might be old and have lost their internal moisture, the oil might not have been hot enough, or there might have been uneven heat distribution in the pot.
Yes, you can use any neutral oil with a high smoke point. Good alternatives include canola oil, grapeseed oil, sunflower oil, or avocado oil.
The key is to use very fine-grained salt, like popcorn salt or by grinding sea salt in a spice grinder. Also, season the popcorn immediately after adding the melted butter, as the moisture helps the salt adhere.
Store any leftover popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. However, it will lose its crispness over time and is best enjoyed fresh.
