# Ingredients:
01 -
3 tablespoons of olive oil or coconut oil.
02 -
1/3 cup of popcorn seeds.
03 -
A pinch of salt to your liking.
04 -
1 tablespoon of butter, if you want.
05 -
Extra toppings of your choice (e.g., paprika, nutritional yeast).
# Instructions:
01 -
Place your 3-quart sturdy pot on medium-high and warm up the oil till it’s all liquid.
02 -
Throw in 3-4 test kernels and wait till they’re popping.
03 -
Evenly spread the rest of the kernels across the pot bottom.

Remove your pot from heat, put the lid on, and count to 30.
05 -
Place the covered pot back on the heat, waiting for the popping to start.
06 -
Keep shaking the pot gently over the stove as the kernels pop away.
07 -
Keep the lid slightly open so steam can escape, giving you crunchier popcorn.
08 -
Listen till the pops slow down to a few seconds apart.
09 -
Move the pot off the burner as soon as the popping slows a lot.
10 -
Pour your freshly popped popcorn into a large bowl immediately.

This is optional, but if you want, melt some butter in the empty but still-warm pot until it’s golden.
12 -
Pour the melted butter onto the popcorn, stirring while you drizzle.
13 -
Season with salt and anything else you love for flavor.
14 -
Give it a good toss so everything mixes evenly. Serve it up while it’s warm and crispy.
