Tips for Pink Himalayan Sea Salt Popcorn
- Don't leave the stovetop whenever making popcorn, as it can burn easily if you are not swirling around the pot to move the kernels.
- While I'm using coconut oil, you can use another kind of oil but the iconic flavor of the LesserEvil is a tad sweet, which is why I use coconut oil to mimic that!
- Store popcorn in an airtight container to keep it fresh, it will last even longer in the freezer!
- I'm using my Caraway 6.5 Qt Dutch Oven for this recipe, grab it with 10% off using code MIMIBAKES.
How to Make Pink Himalayan Sea Salt Popcorn
- In a large pot add 57 grams (¼ cup) of the coconut oil and 3 corn kernels, cover with a lid and put over medium/high heat.
- Once all kernels have popped, remove popped kernels and add all remaining corn kernels and cover with a lid.
- Intermittently, gently swirl around the kernels in the pot. Once kernels start to pop, shake the pot frequently so popped kernels rise to the top. When popping slows to 1 second between pops, remove pot from heat and remove lid.
- Melt the remaining 57 grams (¼ cup) coconut oil.
- Pour over the popped corn and add the sea salt. Add the lid and shake to coat completely.
