Print Recipe

When you ask Nutritionist & Naturopath Casey-Lee Lyons for a popcorn recipe or two, oh boy does she deliver. Here is a fun popcorn snack with homemade sticky caramel for all the sweet tooth’s out there.

How to make stove top popcorn (makes approx 8 cups)

Ingredients:

3 tbsp coconut oil

1/3 cup organic popcorn kernels

Method:

1. Heat oil in a thick bottomed saucepan (with lid).
2. Melt coconut oil. Put 3-4 kernels into the oil, when kernels pop the temperature is right. Add the rest of your popcorn (across one even layer).
3. Cover (with a lid slightly ajar for drier and crispier popcorn) and remove from heat for 30 seconds (this helps to even the temperature so that they pop at the same time).
4. Return to heat. Once popping slows remove from heat.
5. Allow to cool.
