Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (100g) popcorn kernels
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) coconut oil
  • 1 tsp (6g) fine sea salt
  • 4 tbsp (56g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) garlic powder

Instructions:

  1. Place the coconut oil and exactly three kernels into a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Wait for the three kernels to pop to ensure the oil has reached the ideal popping temperature.
  3. Pour in the remaining popcorn kernels and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.
  4. Remove the pot from the heat for 30 seconds to stagger the popping process.
  5. Return the pot to the heat and shake gently until the pops slow to 2 seconds apart.
  6. Immediately pour the popped corn into a large mixing bowl and let it sit for 60 seconds to allow steam to escape.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey (or maple syrup), and garlic powder until emulsified.
  8. Drizzle the glaze over the popcorn in a steady stream while simultaneously tossing the popcorn with a spatula.
  9. Sprinkle the fine sea salt over the popcorn during the final toss to ensure uniform adhesion.
