I’m not a huge snacker but whenever I have the inevitable craving, my go-to snack is always kettle corn. Whether I’m craving sweet or salty this always hits the spot and it’s perfect for a daily treat, movie night, a game day or to enjoy while watching your favorite awards show. I always prefer to make my own rather than buying it pre-packaged because homemade is always the healthier option and it’s so easy and inexpensive to make! I prepare mine using coconut oil which offers more health benefits than other oils, can tolerate high heat and adds a very subtle coconutty flavor which makes your kettle corn extra tasty! Whenever I make this I can’t stop eating it until it’s gone – It’s that good! Scroll down to learn how to make this delicious, 5 minute treat!
Easy Homemade Kettle Corn
Ingredients:
1/2 cup yellow popcorn kernels
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation:
In a large lidded pot heat oil on medium-high heat and drop in a 2 or 3 popcorn kernels. When the kernels pops your oil is ready. Add the rest of your kernels along with the sugar and salt then cover. Shake the pot constantly (to prevent your sugar from burning) until the popping slows, for approximately 2-5 minutes depending on your cooking temperature. Remove from the heat and wait for popping to stop before uncovering the lid. This makes a lightly sweet kettle corn. You can add a more sugar or salt to suit your tastebuds.
