Coconut Oil Popcorn Recipes

Steps:

• Place popcorn and oil in a 3-quart pot over medium heat and cover the pot with a lid. Shake the pot constantly as popcorn pops. When popping slows to a few seconds in-between pops, after about 3 to 5 minutes, remove pot from heat and pour popcorn into a large bowl. Season with sea salt.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Heat oil and 3 popcorn kernels in a large, heavy pot over medium-high until kernels have popped. Add remaining kernels; swirl to coat in oil.
• Cover pot and remove from heat 30 seconds. Return to heat and cook, covered, until popping slows, 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately transfer popcorn to a large heatproof bowl; stir in coconut.
• In a saucepan, bring brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until slightly thickened, 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Pour over popcorn, stirring to coat. Transfer mixture to prepared baking sheet, spreading in an even layer.
• Sprinkle with salt and bake, stirring occasionally, until popcorn is just golden, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Caramel popcorn can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
