Estimated Calories: 70
Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- ¼ cup popcorn kernels
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the salt, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper; set aside.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a medium to large pot with a handle and lid (3-quart or larger), combine the coconut oil and popcorn kernels over medium heat. Put on the lid.
- Once the kernels begin to pop, continue cooking over medium heat, gently shaking the pan (helps prevent popped kernels from burning), until the popping stops.
- Immediately remove the lid and pour the popcorn into a large bowl.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn and sprinkle with the spice mixture (add the spice mixture to your taste - as much or as little as you want - I usually use it all). Toss well to evenly coat the popcorn with the butter and spice mixture.
Recipe Notes
- Store any leftover popcorn in an air-tight container for a few days.
- If you don't use all of the spice mixture, store it in a small air-tight container to use the next time you make a batch of popcorn.
