Cinnamon Chili Coconut Oil Popcorn
vegan, makes 6 cups popped
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup organic popping corn
- 3 Tbsp virgin coconut oil (unrefined for a stronger coconut flavor, refined will have less flavor)
to taste:
- cinnamon (around 1/2 tsp)
- salt (around 1/4 tsp)
- drizzle of maple syrup (2 tsp)
- chili seasoning blend (a few dashes)
*my chili seasoning blend had: salt, sugar, red pepper, black pepper, turmeric, onion, garlic, paprika
optional: sprinkle of hemp seeds for texture and nutrition
note: you can easily omit any strong spicy spices for kids if needed
Directions:
1. Using an extra large stock pot or popcorn popping pot, add 3 Tbsp coconut oil over med-high heat.
2. Drop in 2-3 kernals and cover pot with lid. Wait until first kernal pops, then add in the 1/2 cup popping corn. Quickly cover with lid and beware any stray popping kernals!
3. Shake around pan for next minute as kernals pop. Turn heat higher if needed to help along the popping – just be sure to move those kernals around so the don’t burn.
4. After most of the corn has popped – turn off heat. Do not open lid as kernals should still be popping a bit.
5. Let sit until popping stops, then transfer to a large mixing bowl. Toss with spices, salt and maple.
Serve warm!
