🌴 Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This is popcorn the way it should be—crispy, fluffy, and coated in real flavor, not mystery powder. Made with healthy olive oil and all-natural sea salt, this recipe is ridiculously easy and endlessly customizable. Movie night, game night, or “I just want a snack” night… this one always hits.
Bonus: once you master this method, you’ll never go back to microwave popcorn. Ever.
🛒 Ingredients
For the Popcorn:
-
3–4 Tbsp Sweet Cream Butter Infused Olive Oil, divided
-
½ cup jumbo popcorn kernels
-
¾ tsp Rainbow Sea Salt, ground
👩🍳 Directions
-
In a large pot with a lid, heat 2 Tbsp Sweet Cream Butter Infused Olive Oil over medium-high heat.
-
Once the oil is hot, add the popcorn kernels and cover the pot.
Gently shake the pot occasionally to keep kernels heating evenly. -
When popping slows to less than one pop every 3 seconds, remove the pot from heat and let it rest (covered) for 1 minute.
-
Drizzle popcorn with the remaining 1–2 Tbsp Sweet Cream Butter Infused Olive Oil, sprinkle with Rainbow Sea Salt, and toss to coat.
-
Serve warm and try not to eat the whole bowl yourself. (No promises.)
