Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup popcorn kernels
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Add the coconut oil to a large heavy-bottomed pot and place a few popcorn kernels inside. Cover the pot and heat over medium-high heat. Once these kernels pop, the oil is hot enough.

  • Cook the corn until all the kernels have popped, while continuously shaking the pan. Pause occasionally to listen for breaks in popping. Once there is about a 2-second break between pops, remove the pan from the heat and transfer the popcorn to a bowl. Allow the popcorn to cool down for 2 minutes before eating.
